59. How can the one unspeakable Lord, be the varied cause of these
varieties of things, passing under various denominations. How can the
reality have these unrealities in itself, and how can the Infinite Void,
contain these finite solid bodies in it?
60. It is the nature of a plastic body to produce a thing of a plasmic
from it, as the seeds of fruits bring forth their own kinds only; but how is
it possible for an amorphous void, to produce solid forms from its
vacuity, or the solid body to issue forth formless mind.
61. How can you expect to derive a solid seed from a void nothing,
and therefore it is a deception to think the material world to be produced,
from the immaterial and formless void of the vacuous intellect.
62. There are no conditions, of the creator and creation in the supreme
being; these states are the fabrications of verbiage, and bespeak the
ignorance of their inventors (in the true knowledge of the deity).
63. The want of co-ordinate causes (such as the material and formal
causes), as co-existent with the prime and efficient cause; disproves the
existence of an active agent and his act of creation; and this truth is
evident even to boys.
64. The knowledge of God alone as the sole cause, and yet
acknowledging the causality of the earth and other elements; is as absurd
as to say that, the sun shines and yet it is dark. (i.e. As light and darkness
cannot reign together, so the spirit and matter cannot abide
simultaneously from all eternity, which would amount to the belief of a
duality).
65. To say that the world is the aggregate of atoms, or an atomic
formation, is as absurd as to call a bow made of the horn of a hare. (This
is a refutation of the Buddhistic doctrine of the formation of the visible
world, from the aggregation of eternal invisible atoms).
66. If the concourse and collocation of the dull, inert and insensible
material atoms would form the world; it would of its own accord make a
mountainous heap here, and a bottomless deep there in the air (and not a
work of such design which must be the product of infinite Intelligence).
67. Again the particles of this earth, and the atoms of air and water, are
flying every day in the forms of dust and humidity from house to house
and from place to place, and why do they not yet form a new hill or lake
any where again? (Why no new world again).
68. The invisible atoms are never to be seen, nor is it known whence,
or where and how they are; nor is it possible to form an idea of the
formless atoms, to unite together and form a solid mass. (Shapeless
simples are indivisible and incohesive. Aphorism). And again it is
impossible for the dull and insensible atoms to form any thing.
69. The creation of the world, is never the work of an unintelligent
cause; nor is this frail and unreal world ever the work of an intelligent
maker also; because none but a fool makes any for nothing.
70. The insensible air which is composed of atoms, and has a motion
of its own, is never actuated by reason or sense; nor is it possible to
expect the particles of air to act wisely (as they prayed in their hymns to
the maruta winds).
71. (What then are these if not composed of atoms?) We are all
composed of intellectual soul, and all individuals are made of the
vacuous selves; and they all appear to us, as the figures of persons
appearing in our dream.
72. Therefore there is nothing that is created, nor is this world in
existence; the whole is the clear void of the intellect, and shines with the
glare of the Supreme soul in itself.
73. The vacuous universe rests completely in the vacuum of the
Intellect, as force (or vibration), fluidity and vacuity, rest respectively in
the wind, water and in the open air.
74. The form of the intellectual vacuum, is as that of the airy mind,
which passes to distant climes in a moment (and yet holds its seat in the
hollowness of the brain); or as that of consciousness which is seated in
the hollow of the heart, and is yet conscious of every thing in itself.
75. Such is the vacuous nature of all things, as they are perceived in
their intellectual forms only in intellect (which retains their vacuous
ideas only on the hollow understanding); and so the world also is an
empty idea only imprinted in the intellect.
76. It is the rotatory nature of the Intellect, which exhibits the picture
of the universe on its surface; wherefore the world is identic and not
otherwise than the vacuous nature of the intellect.
77. Therefore the world is the counter part of the intellectual sphere,
and there is no difference in the vacuous nature, of either of them. They
are both the same thing presenting but two aspects, as the wind and its
undulations are one and the same thing.
78. As a wise man going from one country to another, finds himself to
be the same person wherever he goes; and though he sees all the varieties
around him, yet he knows himself as the selfsame quiet and unvaried
soul every where.
79. The wise man remains in the true nature of the elements, hence the
elements never go off from the mind of the wise man.
80. The world is a vacuous sphere of reflections only, resembling a
concave reflector; it is a formless void in its nature, and is unimpaired
and indestructible in its essence.
81. There is nothing that is born or dies in it, nor any thing which
having once come to being, is annihilated ever afterwards any where; it
is not apart from the vacuum of the Intellect, and is as void as the inane
world itself.
82. The world never is, nor was, nor shall ever be in existence; it is but
a silent semblance of the representation passing in the intellectual
vacuity of the supreme spirit.
83. The Divine Intellect alone shines forth in its glory, as the mind
exhibits its images of cities &c. in dream; in the like manner our minds
represent to us the image of world, as day dreams in our waking state.
84. There being no being in the beginning, how could there be the
body of anything in existence; there was therefore no corporeality
whatever except in the dream of the Divine mind.
85. The supreme Intellect dreams of its self-born (or uncreated) body
at first; and we that have sprang from that body, have ever afterwards
continued to see dream after dream to no end. (The world is a dream
both in the mind of God and men).
86. It is impossible for us with all our efforts, to turn our minds to the
great God; because they are not of the nature of the divine intellect, but
born in us like carbuncles on the goitre, for our destruction only.
87. The god Brahmá is no real personage, but a fictitious name for
Hiranyagarbha or totality of souls (समि ), but ever since he is regarded
as a personal being, the world is considered as body and He the soul of
all.
88. But in truth all is unreal, from the highest empyrean to the lowest
pit; and the world is as false and frail as a dream, which rises in vain
before the mind, and vanishes in a minute.
89. The world rises in the vacuity of the Intellect, and sets therein as a
dream; and when it does not rise in the enlightened intellect, it is as a
disappearing from the waking mind, and flying before day light.
90. Although the world is known as false, yet it is perceived and
appears as true to us; in the same manner as the false appearances in our
dream, appear true to our consciousness at the time of dreaming.
91. As the formless dream presents many forms before the mind; so
the formless world assumes many shapes before our sight: and all these
are perceived in our consciousness, which is as minute in respect of the
infinite space and sky, as an atom of dust is too small in regard to the
Meru mountain. (i.e. the minim of our consciousness, contained in the
breast, is an imperceptible particle only of sand in it).
92. But how can this consciousness, which is but another name of
Brahma, be any what smaller than the sky (when it contains the skies in
itself); and how can the vacuous world have any solid form, when it has
no formal cause to form it so. (God being a formless being, could not
give a form and figure to any thing, and which is therefore ideal only).
93. Where was there any matter or mould, where from this material
world was moulded and formed (as we make our houses from the pre-
existing mud and clay of the earth); whatever we see in the sphere of
waking minds in the day light, is similar to the baseless dreams, which
we see in the empty space of our sleeping minds, in the darkness of the
night.
94. There is no difference between the waking and sleeping dreams, as
there is none between the empty air and the sky; whatever is pictured in
the sphere of the intellect, the same is represented as the aerial castle in
the dream.
95. As the wind is the same with its undulation, so the rest and
vibration of the spirit is both alike, as the air and vacuum is the one and
same thing.
96. Hence it is the intellectual sphere only, which represents the
picture of the world; the whole is a void and without any support, and
splendour of the luminary of the intellect.
97. The whole universe is in a state of perfect rest and tranquility, and
without its rising or setting; it is as a quiet and unwasting block of stone,
and ever shining serenely bright.
98. Say therefore whence and what are these existent beings, and how
comes this understanding of their existence; where is there a duality or
unity, and how came these notions of egoism and distinct personalities.
99. Be ever prompt in your actions and dealings, with an utter
indifference to everything, and unconcern about unity or duality; and
preserve an even and cool disposition of your inward mind. Remain in
the state of nirvána, with your extinguished passions and feelings, and
free from disease and anxiety. Be aloof from the visibles, and remain in
the manner of a pure Intelligence only.
100. This chapter is a lecture on entity and non-entity; and
establishment of the spirituality of the universe.
