LAGHU YOGA VASISTHA
and that the universe is not, constitutes mind s
destruction. The wise say that the mind denudes
itself of its form, even though engaged in actions, if
it after dissolving all things unto itself becomes as
cool as ambrosia. Those Jivanmuktas who have
disentangled themselves from the meshes of
Vasanas will but live in this world to wear out their
Prarabdha, like a potter s wheel continuing to roll
on of itself through the impetus given by the
potter. It is these who are in possession of the pure
Vasanas without any rebirth or pains. It is these
who have a mind cognizing the Reality and yet are
without (the lower) mind; who have reached the
most consecrated of spots, Jnana, It is these
Jivanmuktas that, giving up the body, attain the
Chidakas and are termed the lofty ones. These are
the two- seeds of mind as stated before. They are
fluctuation of Prana and Vasanas. Of these, if either
of them dies, both perish. Through Vasanas, Prana
s motion is caused; through Prana‟s motion,
Vasanas are caused. So that we may say that these
are the seeds and the sprouts to the ripe dried fruit
of the mind. Again these two have their root in the
visible things of the universe.
