LAGHU YOGA VASISTHA
Here Rama asked: How in the Plenum of Brahma-
Jnana did there arise an element foreign to it?
Vasistha replied: „The laying hold of heterogeneous
ideas which are unreal tends to the paltry re-births;
but the merging of the ideation into the one Reality
without any doubts is the emancipation from rebirths‟.
11. THE STORY OF MITHYA PURUSHA, THE
ILLUSORY PERSONAGE
Summary: This Ahankara is concreted in the shape
of a Mithya-Purusha and illustrated.
May you attain Atma-Jnana and enjoy supreme
bliss after giving up all conceptions of diversities.
Do not afflict yourself, oh Rama, like the Mithya-
Purusha. So said Vasishta, when Raghava asked
him thus: How did Mithya-Purusha rove about
with an afflicted heart and without the least benefit
to himself? Please explain it to me lucidly; however
surfeited it may be, with the ambrosial Jnana.
