59. With my earthly body, I suck the rain water and the waters of the seas; in order to supply the moisture of the moisture of trees, on account of their producing the juicy fruits, for the food of living beings. 60. At the time of my coming to pure understanding, and the clair-voyance of my intellectual sight; I find the millions of worlds and all worldly things, disappearing from my view and all uniting in One sole unity. 61. This is a miracle of the intellect, and it strikes with wonder in ourselves; that the miracles of the inner mind, manifest themselves as external sights before our eyes. (_i.e._ The subjective appearing as the objective). 62. I felt it painful to think of the existence of nothing any where; but I found out the truth, that there is nothing in reality except one spiritual substance, which displays all these wonders in itself. 63. There is but One universal soul, which is the ever undecaying cause of all; and produces and lives through out the whole. (This is called the _visva rúpa_ hypostasis of God, as it is expressed by the poet “These as they change, are but the varied God,” and the world is full of Him). And as my soul was awakened to knowledge, I saw this whole in the soul of Brahma. 64. Being awakened to the knowledge of the universal soul, as the all and every where, ubiquitous and all supporting; I became insensible of all objects, and was myself lost in the all subjective unity. 65. It is in the vacuous convexity of the pure divine spirit, that the continuous creations appear to rise in the intellect; but it is the extinction of these, which extinguishes the burning flame (of worldliness) in the mind, and exterminates the knowledge of all these ideal particulars, into that of One infinite and ever existent entity. CHAPTER LXXXXIII. THE ADVENT AND PSALMODY OF A SIDDHA IN THE AERIAL ABODE OF VASISHTHA. Argument:—The appearance of the spirit of a siddha in the aerial cell of Vasishtha, and his heavenly canticle. Vasishtha continued:—As my mind was turned from the sight of phenomenals, and employed in the meditation of the only One; I found myself to be suddenly transported to my holy cell in the air. 2. There I lost the sight of my own body, and knew not where I was seated; when all of a sudden the sacred person of a siddha or aerial saint, appeared in view, and to be seated before me. 3. He sat in his mood of deep meditation, and was entranced in his thought of the supreme spirit; his appearance was as bright as the sun, and his person was as shining as the flaming fire. 4. He sat quiet and steadily in his posture of _padmásana_ between his two knees and heels; and remained absorbed in meditation, having no motion of his body, nor any thought of anything in his mind.
