LAGHU YOGA VASISTHA
impartite and with true quiescence, though dreams
upon dreams arise in this prolonged dream of the
universe. Like a plantain tree which, when probed
into, yields layer after layer till at last there is the
plantain stalk, so Brahman alone shines within the
infinite series of universes after universes arising
deeper and deeper in the recesses of space. It is the
Brahman, spoken of above, that, being subtle and
above all intelligence is the supreme atom. As it is
endless, it is the cause of Meru and other objects.
The vast expanse of Meru, etc. will appear but as
infinite small atoms, when compared to this. Being
unreachable, this supreme Atom of Brahman being
the Plenum is yet a great mountain. This Atman,
though having diverse forms, is yet without forms
and of the nature of the true Jnana, being the
substratum of all. To this unknowable Atman, all
the universes are the Vijnana essence or marrow. In
the midst of that which is Vijnana alone, the
universe is.‟
Having heard these words of the king, Vetala
cognized his reality through his mind, and became
of a quiescent mind through stainless enquiry.
