LAGHU YOGA VASISTHA
pinioned his mind in the supreme heart Akasa in a
state verging upon death.
Having thus captured and stowed away his mind
like a rutting elephant in a mountain pitfall, his
mind became as clear as a placid sky and was
devoid of all Vikalpas which are but the reflexions
(of the Truth) Like a champion killing with his
sword his foes who rise against him again and
again, he destroyed, as they arose, all thoughts of
objects. With the extinction of all Vikalpas, he
destroyed through his discrimination that (mental)
darkness which intervened between himself and
the spiritual Sun in his heart. Then the Muni saw
before him a radiant light which the Muni tided
over. In that stage, the mind of the Muni began to
whirl and daze away as in the dead of night. This
dizziness being over, void Akasa was known by
him, and then came Moha (delusion). Even this
Moha was dispelled off his mind by this Muni of
blissful vision, like darkness disappearing at the
approach of the sun in this world.
