the seat of Brahmic bliss and the flower-bunch in
the tree of contentment and quiescence. With the
development of non-desires, all weaknesses of the
heart will fly away. In the eyes of those who have
decorated themselves with the ornament of nondesires,
the whole earth is nothing but a cow s footprint,
even Mahameru is but a paltry seed, all the
quarters are but a bird s nest and the three worlds
are but a trash only.
Those who have worshipped their Atmic Reality
which is other than the body, will not be conscious

or any cutting instrument, does not lose its taste, an
illuminated Jnani will never lose his centre even
amidst the many illusions of the world. Like a lady
who performs her household duties, whilst her
mind is engrossed with her paramour at a distance,
a Jnani will always centre his mind upon the
Brahmic state. Through the absence of desires for
objects, the quiescence in the mind will produce
Moksha. This Moksha will be of use to those great
men only, who have bid farewell to their desires,
