LAGHU <strong>YOGA</strong> VASISTHA<br />

class, vis., persons of full Jnana affirm that Moksha<br />

will be easily attained by those who, dividing the<br />

mind into four parts, devote it to the four purposes<br />

of a study of the Jnana-books treating of the path of<br />

Atmic Reality, of non-desires, of self-cognition and<br />

of the pursuit of the path of the worship of<br />

Acharyas. May you through your excessive<br />

intelligence and enquiry always master Atmic<br />

worship and the subjugation of desires<br />

simultaneously. Through a determined subjugation<br />

of desires, Atmic enquiry is induced; and this<br />

Atmic enquiry breeds again renunciation of<br />

desires. They are both mutually dependent upon<br />

one another, like the full ocean and the clouds.<br />

Having earned, in proper ways, wealth for<br />

relieving one s kindred and others without<br />

violating the rules and observances of a country,<br />

one should through that wealth resort to the wise<br />

of rare Satva guna and there attain their Vairagya<br />

through which he should develop Atmic enquiry.<br />

When thus he is illumined with true Janna through<br />

Atmic enquiry, then Moksha is attained.‟<br />
