No trivia or quizzes yet.
And this has been rendered more clear in the remaining clause of the said text thus: Whence this implies also Life of the Higher Self set forth under ” Fearlessness, purity of heart, ” etc.
The house with walls and pillars does not stand without a secure foundation; medicine conduces not to health if taken without clearing the stomach by proper purgatives, etc.
Because free effort fails sometimes of its result, we cannot argue, from that circumstance alone, the futility of all free action in general ; for, if it were so, all kings once defeated ought to dismiss the whole of their horses, elephants, and men, making up the army. Bearing kivanmukti fruit the destruction of holy merit, ” name, and wealth, consuming the whole body, doing “no good either here or in the next world ; if anger “is this evil thing, how should it find place within the “miad of the good!
The condition vviveka as “amanskatd. The S’ruti also has it: Hence we proceed to the next means of Jivxnmuktt, viz. The exhilarating soothing power of its invisible essence is imperceptly helping the relief of many heart-burn- Vlll ings and much weariness. What good jlvanmukti we see in off-spring?
