LAGHU YOGA VASISTHA
in the midst of enormous wealth or terrible
accidents or extreme poverty or death or illusions
or extreme intelligence, such men can be said to
have their minds destroyed. The removal of the
Avidya which is the mind itself tends to its
destruction and produces ripe (spiritual)
intelligence. Such a mind which does not subject
itself to the obnoxious re-births through the pure
Vasanas associated with the four qualities,
benevolence, etc., pertains to the Jivanmuktas.
Thus is the Rupa (form) destroyed in the quiescent
mind. It is in this mind that the four qualities
above-mentioned will bloom like a full-blown lotus
in spring.
The destruction of Arupa mind is wrought by
Videhamuktas. Kaivalya in a disembodied state
can be attained, only when Satva which originates
the four abovementioned qualities perishes also.
There is no other road to the destruction of this
Arupa mind than through doing away with Satva.
Brahmic State is that which has and which has not
Gunas and non-Gunas, wealth and non-wealth,
dawning and setting, contentment and its reverse,
