Diminution of attention to all and sundry and development of onepointedness is called Samadhi-parinama or mutation of the concentrative mind. 12. There (in Samadhi) again (in the state of concentration) the past and the present modifications being similar, it is Ekagrata-parinama, or mutation of the stabilised state of the mind. 13. By these are explained the three changes, viz, of essential attributes or characteristics, of temporal characters, and of states of the Bhutas and the Indriyas (i.e. all the knowable phenomena). 14. That which continues its existence all through the varying characteristics, namely, the quiescent, i e. past, the uprisen, i.e. present, or unmanifest (but remaining as potent force), i.e. future, is the substratum (or object chracterised). 15. Change of sequence (of characteristics) is the cause of mutative differences. 16. Knowledge of the past and the future can be derived through Samyama on the three Parinamas (changes). 17. Word, object implied, and the idea thereof overlapping, produce one unified impression. If Samyama is practised on each separately, knowledge of the meaning of the sounds produced by all being can be acquired. 18. By the realisation of latent impressions, knowledge of previous birth is acquired. 19. (By practising Samyama) On notions, knowledge of other minds is developed. 20. The prop (or basis) of the notion does not get known because that is not the object of (the Yogin's) observation. to be continued... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
