55. There are some who are entirely dumb, and without the power of speech; and some again that having no power of touch or feeling, are as insensible blocks or stones. 56. Some have their sense (of conception) only, without possessing the organs of sense; and others that manage themselves as foul Pisáchas or goblins, and are therefore inadmissible in human society. 57. There are some made of one material only (as solid earth), and others have no solidity in them (as air &c.); some are composed of the watery substance, and others are full of fiery matter in them. 58. Some are full of air, and some there are of all forms (_i.e._ capable to do anything). All these are of vacuous forms, and are shown in the vacuity of the understanding. (This is an effect of a _yoga_ called _prakámya siddhi_ or the power of seeing every thing in the mind or imagination). 59. So the surface of the earth, and air and water, teem with living beings, and the frogs live in the cell of stones, and the insects dwell in the womb of the earth. 60. There are living beings living in vast bodies of water, as in lands, forests and mountains; and so there are living creatures skimming in the other elements and air, as the finny tribes move about and swim in the air. 61. There are living things also, peopling the element of fire, and moving in fiery places, where there is no water to be had; and there they are flying and flitting about as sparks and particles of fire. 62. The regions of air are also filled with other kinds of living beings; and these have airy bodies like the bilious flatulency which runs all over the body. 63. Even the region of vacuum is full of animal life; and these have vacuous bodies, moving in their particular forms. 64. Whatever animals are shut up in the infernal caves, or skip aloft in the upper skies; and those that remain, and rove about all sides of the air; these and all those which inhabit and move about the many worlds in the womb of the great vacuum, were seen by me in the vacuity of my Intellect. CHAPTER LXI. ON THE IDENTITY OF THE WORLD WITH INFINITE VACUITY. Argument:—Want of Divine knowledge, produces the knowledge of the reality of the unreal world; but the knowledge of God, proves the nothingness of the World at all times. Vasishtha continued:—It is from the face of the firmament of Divine Intellect, that the atmosphere of our understandings, catch the reflexion of this universe; just as the waters of the deep, receive the images of the clouds in the upper sky. It is this Intellect which gives us life, and guides our minds. 2. These living souls and minds of ours, are of the form of the clear sky; and these countless worlds, are productions of empty vacuity.
