When the ego-sense is dissolved in the mind, by what signs does - TopicsExpress



          

When the ego-sense is dissolved in the mind, by what signs does one recognise the nature of satva? Vasistha said: Such a mind, O Rama, is untouched by sins like greed and delusion, even under the worst of provocation. The knots of mental conditioning and tendencies are cut asunder. Anger is greatly attenuated, and delusion becomes ineffective. Desire becomes powerless. Greed flees. The senses function on an even keel, neither getting excited nor depressed. Even if pleasure and pain are reflected on his face, they do not agitate the mind, which regards them all as insignificant. The heart rests in equanimity. The enlightened man who is endowed with all these virtues effortlessly and naturally wears the body. Being and non-being (like prosperity and adversity), when they follow each other creating diverse and even great contradictions, do no generate joy and sorrow in the holy ones. Yoga Vasistham section: VI.1 - chapter: 116-117
