LAGHU YOGA VASISTHA
Therefore if the visible things are destroyed, then
Prana s fluctuation and Vasanas will be eradicated
to their root like a tree. It is the mental actions that
are the seed of the visible things. If the intelligence
does not come into play, then the visible things will
cease to exist. For will sesame oil exist in the
absence of the sesame seed? There exists not the
difference of the visibles, externally or internally.
The dawning Jnana will produce a kind of creation.
Through Sankalpa, this Jnana will see in itself the
visibles. Just as in a dream, though one forgets
himself yet he sees all things in it through some
inherent power in himself, so the visibles are
known through Vritti-Jnana. Those who through
their present pure efforts of discrimination have
destroyed this reflected intelligence, whether they
have previously analysed it or not, will also have
destroyed their dire Samsara. It is the nondestruction
of the reflected visibles that lands us in
the great Samsara; but with their destruction, the
supreme end is attained. So say the great ones. Do
not the visible things entail on us immeasurable
pains? Oh Rama, the absence of the visibles and the
non-cognition of objects do generate Nirvanic bliss.
