Part XIII: Union (Yoga).1579
The knower of the Essence, enjoying the pleasures of the senses with
moderation, but knowing them for what they are, may derive both temporal
as well as spiritual pleasure, even like one having knowledge of two languages.
Panchadasi.
I believe him liberated for ever, who performs every act without the idea
of his personally doing it, taking it to be only a part of the multifarious
spontaneous action of Nature.
Yogavasishtha.
Fixed abode; desire of fine pots, etc., for use; laying by a store; the taking
of pupils; sleeping by day; vain talk;—these six degrade the ascetic into
bondage. That ascetic falls in no time who indulges in cohabitation, or who
begins to lay by a store of wealth.
Smrti.
The loving woman never ceases to dream of her lover, even when all intent
on the discharge of her household duties. The wise finding sweet rest in
the supreme undefiled Essence, continue for ever to enjoy it within, though
going in the ways of the world, without.
Panchadasi.
Relate thyself not with the future, nor with what has gone by; live the present
out with smiling heart.
Yogavasishtha.
The consciousness of “self” implied in the “ego,” the subject; and the
consciousness of “belonging” implied in the “mine” attached to objects;—
when both these consciousnesses so to speak are emptied of all content
whatever, then indeed does one become the knower of Self.
Upadesasahasri.
