THE EMPTY MIND.

'Sunya Chittah na janati Kaivalyam iva Samsthitah'
(Astaavakra Geeta/ XVII /18).

"The wise-man of empty mind does not know the mental alternatives of contemplation (samadhana) and non-contemplation (asamadhana), and of good and evil. He abides, as it were, in the state of 'Aloneness' (Kaivalyam)" !

"Devoid of the feelings of 'I-ness' and 'My-ness', knowing for certain that nothing is, and with all his inner desires melted away, the Wise-man does not act, though he may be appear to be acting....." (A.G / XVII / 19)

An indescribable state is attained by the sage whose mind has melted away, its functions having ceased to operate, and who is free from delusion, dreaming and dullness."...... (XVII / 20)
