Sage Vasishtha
Only when one severs the very root of the mind with the weapon of non-conceptualization, can one reach the absolute Brahman which is omnipresent, supreme peace. Conceptualization or imagination is productive of error and sorrow; and it can be so easily got rid of by self-knowledge - and when it is got rid of there is great peace. Why does one find it so difficult?
Abandon your reliance on fate or gods created by dull-witted people, and by self-effort and self-knowledge make the mind no-mind. Let the infinite consciousness swallow, as it were, the finite mind and then go beyond everything. With your intelligence united with the supreme, hold on to the Self which is imperishable.
When the mind is thus conquered by remaining completely unagitated, you will consider even the conquest of three worlds worthless. This does not involve studying the scriptures, or rising or falling - nothing, but self-knowledge. Why do you consider it difficult?
