WHEN THE KNOWLEDGE OF SENSE OBJECTS DISAPPEARS, THEN THE ARMY OF RAVANA DIES AND ONE ACQUIRES PEACE, OR SITA.
ALL OF THE VARIOUS SENSE OBJECTS MAKE UP THE ARMY OF RAVANA.
RAVANA INTENDED TO WAGE A WAR WITH THE STRENGTH OF HIS ARMY AND DEFEAT RAMA.
MEDITATION SHOULD BE DONE WITH FULL ATTENTION OF THE MIND.
WHEN YOUR MIND DESIRES TO GAIN THE "KNOWLEDGE OF BRAHMAN," THEN THE EGO, INDRAJIT, DIES.
WHEN FIXING THE ATTENTION OF THE MIND TOWARDS BRAHMAN, THE EGO DIES, AND WHEN FIXING THE ATTENTION OF THE MIND TOWARDS THE SENSE OBJECTS, ONE REMAINS THE SERVANT OF THE SENSES, OR RAVANA.
WHILE IT IS THE BODY WITH A NAME THAT IS BORN, THE INDIVIDUAL THINKS THAT IT IS HE, THE JIVA, WHO IS BORN.
IF YOU WERE ONLY YOUR BODY, YOU WOULD DIE WHEN IT DIES.
YOU ARE THE KNOWER OF THE BODY, YOU ARE NOT THE BODY.
THE BODY DIES. YOU DO NOT.
THROUGH CORRECT THINKING, THE MIND COMES TO UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT APPEARS TO BE REAL, IS NOT REAL.
THE MEANING OF THIS IS THAT IT DOES NOT EXIST, ALTHOUGH IT APPEARS TO BE REAL.
YOU SHOULD KEEP FIGHTING BY WIELDING THE SWORD OF WISDOM (OF SPIRITUAL INSTRUCTION) AND BY REPEATING THE NAME OF RAMA (MEDITATION).
OBJECTS IN THE WORLD ARE THE DEMONS, AND THE STATE OF MIND WITHOUT A SINGLE OBJECT IN IT IS THE "SELF WHO IS GOD," OR ATMARAM.
