LAGHU <strong>YOGA</strong> VASISTHA<br />

perceiving all worlds to be of the nature of Jnana<br />

which is the one quiescence without parts or end<br />

or destruction or fluctuation or Samsara. That<br />

which is described as the imperishable state of<br />

quiescent Jnana is Asamvedana. Perform all your<br />

allotted works, being at the same time in the Jnana<br />

state and without the attracting desires. That Jnana<br />

which tends to the destruction of the mind a great<br />

up-hill work truly is Asamvedana. May you be,<br />

through this path, in that state of beatitude, which<br />

is the quiescent Jnana. All ideas of identification of<br />

all things with one‟s Self, will not free him from<br />

pains. Asamvedana will confer upon one Moksha<br />

as its result. Whatever is dear to you (or proper in<br />

your eyes), that you shall enact. The non-dawning<br />

self-light of Siva (the auspicious) is the allpervading<br />

Sat. It alone is the quiescent, auspicious<br />

and surpriseless bliss, shorn of all objects. It alone<br />

is Jnana of ever-dawning Sat. It is this firm direct<br />

cognisance of non-duality that constitutes, Oh<br />

Rama, Karma Tyaga or the renunciation of all<br />

actions.<br />
