62. One who is unified with the universal soul, resembles a wave that mixes altogether with the main water; because the Divine soul sends its essence to all, as a tree supplies its marrow to all parts of it from top to foot. 63. There is one unchanging soul, that shines afar above the reach of our knowledge; in the same manner as the clear vault of heaven, appears at the distance of millions of miles from us. 64. There is only one unknowable and infinite Being, that is far beyond our knowledge of the knowables, and is purer and more rarefied than the all pervading vacuum. 65. Therefore knowing that pure and holy One, as both the states of knowledge and knowables (_i.e._ the subjective and objective); just as the clarified butter is consolidated to the compactness of stone. (The soul is solidified to matter). 66. The Divine intellect makes itself the object of its thought as a thinkable being; and the soul thinks in itself as the mind, from eternity to eternity, throughout the infinity of space. (The soul reflects in itself, as the congeries of all things of its omniscience). 67. The unintelligent Nyáya School maintains the unity and positive rest of God; and although there may be no mistake of theirs in this position, yet it is wrong to separate omniscience from the entity of Divine unity. 68. All great minded souls that are free from pride, melt away into the inscrutable quiescence of God; and those that unerring in divine knowledge, find their eternal rest in the _samádhi_ or resignation of themselves to the Supreme spirit. CHAPTER XLIV. DANGERS TO WHICH THE WANDERING (STAGLIKE) MIND IS EXPOSED. Argument:—The tree of samádhi; its roots and filaments, its leaves and branches, its blossoms and flowers, its barks and fruits, its piths and marrows, its heights and moistures. Ráma said:—Relate to me at length, O holy sage, the form of the arbour of _samádhi_, together with all its creepers, flowers and fruits, which supply holy men with good and refreshment, all along their lives. 2. Vasishtha replied:—Hear me relate to you about the tree of _samádhi_, which always grows in the forest of holy people, and is ever fraught with its luxuriant foliage and flowers and its luscious fruits. 3. The learned say, that it is some how or other, either by culture or its own spontaneity, that there grows a dissatisfaction with the wilderness of this world, in the heart of the reasonable man. 4. Its field is the heart of the wise man, furrowed by the plough of prosperity (_i.e._ which has had better fortune); which is watered with delight by day and night, and whose conduit is now flowing with sighs. 5. It is the heart’s regret at the world, which is the seed of _samádhi_ or self-resignation; and it grows of itself in the ground of the contrite heart of the wise, in the forest land of reasonable men.
