LAGHU YOGA VASISTHA
Mahameru and having worshipped and eulogised
Parameswara who was like Chidakas itself,
submitted the following „Moving in worldly
delusion and not getting quiescence in Jnana, I
have in vain roved about in perfect ignorance.
How can I live with a quiescence of mind in this
decayed body of the world? Please throw light
upon the path of certitude which I can tread
without any the least fear?‟
Parameswara deigned to answer in the following
terms: „If after destroying your doubts, you cling to
Truth, you will become the great actor, the great
enjoyer, and the great renouncer.‟
Bhringisa queried him thus: What dost you mean
by the great (true) actor, the great enjoyer, and the
great renouncer? Parameswara replied He is the
incomparable great actor who is indifferent to the
inevitable fruits or otherwise of dire love and
hatred, pleasures and pains, Dharma and Adharma
and performs actions in that manner without any
desires. He is the great actor who, being silent, is
free from the ideations of „I‟ or self-identification
