meditation 108

Meditate upon the following:

What relation has differentiated knowledge —

and actions arising from that —

to the changelessness of Ātman (Soul)?

Differentiated knowledge arises

from (cognition of)

the objective world

and not from

the subjective world.

Thus, the objective world

melts into nothingness.

Notes:

Whereas Lakshmanjoo and Hughes as well as Lakshmanjoo and Muju correlate the 108th dhāraṇā with verse 134 of the scripture, Singh correlates it with verse 133.  

The unedited manuscript reads as follows:

Meditate upon: what relation has differentiated knowledge & actions rising from that to changeless Atma (Soul)? Differentiated knowledge rises from the (cognition of) objective world and not from subjective world. Thus objective world melts into nothingness.

Singh emphasizes that the knowledge and actions are those of the limited, empirically oriented individual, whose object-centered knowing and actions are filled with a sense of differences in an ever-changing world.

This meditation is Shambav-upaya.
