“Reasoning thus be not angry nor blame anyone in vain. Everyone is slumbering in the night of delusion, and while asleep one sees dreams of various kinds. In this night of mundane existence it is Yog¶s (mystics) alone who keep awake—Yog¶s who are in quest of the highest truth and remain aloof from the world. A soul should be deemed as having awoke from the night of the world only when he develops and 434 * ÝR” RMACARITAMNASA* aversion for the enjoyments of the world of sense. It is only when right understanding comes that the error of delusion disappears and then alone one develops love for the feet of Ýr¶ RŒma (the Lord of Raghus). O friend, the highest spiritual goal is this: to be devoted to the feet of Ýr¶ RŒma in thought, word and deed. Ýr¶ RŒma is no other than Brahma (God), the supreme Reality, unknown, imperceptible, beginningless, incomparable, free from all change and beyond all diversity. The Vedas ever speak of Him in negative terms (not this).” (1—4)
