When all earthly objects are destroyed, the mind always attains to That which is higher than the Understanding; while upon their separation the mind always acquires that which is below the Understanding. Therefore, a person, who, according to the method already described, becomes engaged in destroying carthly objects, becomes immersed in Brahma.
गुणादाने विप्रयोगे च तेषां मनः सदा बुद्धिपरावराभ्याम्। अनेनैव विधिना सम्प्रवृत्तो गुणापाये ब्रह्म शरीर मेति॥
