There must be a purely disinterested love of truth for its own sake. Thus is the perceiving consciousness made void, as it were, of all personality or sense of separateness. THERE MUST BE A PURELY DISINTERESTED LOVE OF TRUTH FOR ITS OWN SAKE THUS IS THE PERCEIVING CONSCIOUSNESS MADE VOID AS IT WERE OF ALL PERSONALITY OR SENSE OF SEPARATENESS
he Rules have been kept; for until this is done, the thronging storms of psychical thoughts dissipate and distract the attention, so that it will not remain fixed on spiritual things. The cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word of the spiritual message. 3. When the perceiving consciousness in this meditative is wholly given to illuminating the essential meaning of the object contemplated, and is freed from the sense of separateness and personality, this is contemplation (samadhi). Let us review the steps so far taken. First, the beam of perceiving consciousness is focussed on a certain region or subject, through the effort of attention. Then this attending consciousness is held on its object. Third, there is the ardent will to know its meaning, to illumine it with comprehending thought. Fourth, all personal bias—all desire merely to indorse a previous opinion and so prove oneself right, and all desire for personal profit or gratification must be quite put away. THE COMMANDMENTS AND THE RULES HAVE BEEN KEPT FOR UNTIL THIS IS DONE THE THRONGING STORMS OF PSYCHICAL THOUGHTS DISSIPATE AND DISTRACT THE ATTENTION SO THAT WILL NOT REMAIN FIXED ON SPIRITUAL THINGS THE CARES OF THIS WORLD THE DECEITFULNESS OF RICHES CHOKE THE WORD OF THE SPIRITUAL MESSAGE PETRI THREE WHEN THE PERCEIVING CONSCIOUSNESS IN THIS MEDITATIVE IS WHOLLY GIVEN TO ILLUMINATING THE ESSENTIAL MEANING OF THE OBJECT CONTEMPLATED AND IS FREED FROM THE SENSE OF SEPARATENESS AND PERSONALITY THIS IS CONTEMPLATION SAMATI LET US REVIEW THE STEPS FAR TAKEN FIRST THE BEAM OF PERCEIVING CONSCIOUSNESS IS FOCUSED ON A CERTAIN REGION OR SUBJECT THROUGH THE EFFORT OF ATTENTION THEN THIS ATTENDING CONSCIOUSNESS IS HELD ON ITS OBJECT THIRD THERE IS THE ARDENT WILL TO KNOW ITS MEANING TO ILLUMINE IT WITH COMPREHENDING THOUGHT FOURTH ALL PERSONAL BIAS ALL DESIRE MERELY TO ENDORSE A PREVIOUS OPINION AND SO PROVE ONESELF RIGHT AND ALL DESIRE FOR PERSONAL PROFIT OR GRATIFICATION MUST BE QUITE PUT AWAY
