5.6. The tale of Uddalak

Vasishtha continued:

About the frame, do not get into a pose about mental concepts and perceptions, thin and sharp, for the mind was created by time and gains strength over time. Conquer the mind with wisdom until time cuts down the vine of this body. Constantly thinking over my words, you will reach the highest wisdom.

I will tell you about the frame, how the wise of Uddalak reached the highest vision of the truth.

In the corner of the earth, covered with powerful mountains of Gandamadan, a huge tree stood on one of the peaks of these mountains. Somewhere there lived the sage of Uddalak. While still a little boy, he wanted to achieve the highest wisdom. Of course, then he still understood little and his mind was disturbed, but he had a pure heart. He tortured his body, studied the holy scriptures and was engaged in various practices, and wisdom began to manifest itself.

Once, sitting alone, he thought like this:

What is liberation, which, as they say, is the highest value that should be achieved after which there is no longer suffering and new births? When will I calm down forever in this state? When these mental unrest caused by desires and thoughts will stop? When I get free from the thoughts “I did it” and “I have to do that”? When my mind ceases to distort life here in different binding relationships and will become like a lotus that grows on the water, but is not affected by it? When will I cross this river to the shore of liberation with the help of a boat of wisdom? When can I look at human actions, as a child’s game? When will my mind calm down? When will the illusory difference between subjective and objective experience cease through the experience of the experience of infinite consciousness? When finally I can contemplate the concept of time without being involved in it? When I, living in a cave with a calm mind, will I look like a stone in a state where there is no movement of thought?

So thinking, Uddalaka continued his meditations. But his mind was not calm. Sometimes, however, his mind left the perception of external objects and remained clean. At other times, the mind did not want to calm down. Living in the forest, Uddalak was very upset from such changes in conditions. Once he reached an isolated place in the forest, where a nobody had not yet stepped. There he saw a suitable cave, which seemed very suitable for achieving a state of complete calm and peace. She was pleasant in every way with flowers and vines around, with moderate temperature inside and brilliance, like an emerald.

Vasishtha continued:

Uddalaka went into this wonderful cave and sat down in a meditative pose. Having decided to achieve a state of mind without an internal dialogue, he concentrated his attention to mental inclinations.

Uddalaka thought so to himself:

Oh mind, what do you have to do with this apparent world? The sages do not want to come close to pleasures, which then turn into pain. Anyone who leaves the calm that can be found in himself, and is looking for pleasure instead, leaves a wonderful garden and goes into the field full of toxic plants. You can go anywhere, you will not find the highest calm anywhere, except through the reassurance of thoughts. Therefore, leave all hopes and desires. All these objects that seem beautiful, by their nature are not embodiment or non -incarnation and are not intended for your happiness.

Do not catch like a deer attracted by the sounds of music and bells, or like an elephant, which is lured with an elephant, or like a fish attracted by a bait on a hook, or like a moth flying to the fire, or like a bee, whose taste of taste leads it to a flower, which closes it, which closes At night and locks the bee inside.
O stupid mind, they all die, succumbing to only one of the senses (deer - hearing, bee - smell, moth - vision, elephant - touch, fish - a sense of taste) - and you are subject to all five types of sensations, as you can be happy ? As a caterpillar weaves a cocoon and it is caught in it, you spat out a network of your own concepts, which caught you yourself. If you were able to get rid of all this, achieve purity, overcome even the fear of life and death and achieve complete balance, then you have reached the greatest victory. On the other hand, if you cling to this ever -changing artifact called the world, you will certainly die in sorrow.

Why am I telling you all this, about the mind - for if you explore the truth, you can make sure that there is no mind! The mind is the result of stupidity, when stupidity wears out, the mind also wears out. You are now in the process of decay. What stupidity is to speak with someone who is in the process of decay! Day after day, you get weaker and weaker, and I refuse you; Wise people do not teach what they are about to throw away.

About the mind, I am an unhealthy infinity and homogeneous self -awareness, I have no business with you, because you are a source of selfishness.

Uddalaka continued his thoughts:

Endless self -consciousness cannot be in the mind, how is it impossible to fit in a wooden apple (wooden apple, elephant? 6?
