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

death wel<strong>com</strong>e to those only whose minds, being<br />

pampered by the bondage-giving desires, do ever<br />

travel in that path and get agitated under the load<br />

of Samsara? The lives of those only are blissful,<br />

who, having mastered egoism and desires, do cast<br />

their eyes equally upon all, which vision confers<br />

infinite bliss. The lives of those only are blissful<br />

who, devoid of love and hatred and having<br />

rendered their minds cool, are witness to all<br />

actions, though performing them. He who is<br />

attracted towards objects as well as the objects<br />

themselves are both bondage-giving; the severance<br />

(of the mind) from objects constitutes quiescence. It<br />

is only when this quiescence is mastered that<br />

Moksha is attained. Now inasmuch as you have<br />

reached that state, you should seat yourself on<br />

your victorious throne (of the quiescent mind) and<br />

reign over your kingdom. You shall presently be<br />

invested with the regal diadem in the midst of the<br />

reverberating sound of conches and of the<br />

auspicious acts and praises of the Devas. May you<br />

reign till the end of this Kalpa.‟<br />
