LAGHU YOGA VASISTHA
spiritual bliss is only through previous Atmic
efforts. Therefore one should destroy Ajnana, the
seed of the previous tree of existence on this earth
productive of fearful dangers and surrounded by
the ocean of pains.
To the non-agitated Jnanis the precious Jewel of
Jnana locked in the casket of their heart will fetch,
in a moment, whatever they think of, like the Kalpa
tree (of Deva loka). Desires, hatred, etc., will not
affect those in whom the (Atmic) bliss enjoyment
has arisen through Atmic enquiry after the
annihilation of Ajnana, just as persons clad in
diamond armour are proof against arrows. Then
the dense mist of Ahankara, which having
screened the Sun of Brahman obscured the
intelligence, will be dispersed piece-meal by the
whirlwind of Jnana. Should one aspire for the
supreme Brahmic Seat, he should previously have
killed out all desires in his mind. Is not grain
obtained, only after previously ploughing the field
on this firm earth?
