SUTRA IV. 4. 8.

सङ्कल्पादेव च तच्छ्रुतेः॥४.४.८॥

saṅkalpādeva ca tacchruteḥ ..4.4.8..

… Sankalpad, by the will… Eva, indeed, .. Tat, about it … Shruteh, there being a scriptural statement.

8. (The Muktas meet their relatives and the rest) by their mere will; because of the text of the Shruti. — 545.

COMMENTARY

The Mukta meets his relatives and the rest by his mere will. Why? Because the Revelation says so. For in the same Chhandogya Upanishad in a previous passage (VIII., 2. 1) the Scripture says:

Thus he who desires the world of the fathers, by his mere will, the fathers come to receive him, and having obtained the world of the fathers, he is happy.

Thus this previous passage shows that the meeting with relatives, etc., takes place by mere will, and by no other effort. If any other effort was also necessary, then the particle «Eva», «mere», would become useless. Though there was similarly the word «Eva» in the description of the soul as «mere mass of intelligence» (…), yet there we added the eight qualities, because of the complementary text of the Prajapati’s declaration. But there is no such complementary passage with regard to Satya-sankalpa, which would require us to hold that some other attributes must be added here also; and that the will does not accomplish itself, but requires something else.

But this kind of Mukti, in which one’s own expansion of power is the predominant clement, is not liked by those who are the true servants of the Lord, and have tasted the sweets of service They look down upon this sort of Mukti. This explains also those texts which deprecate such Mukti.

Adhikarana VI. — The Mukta is under the control

of no one, but the Lord

Now, though the Mukta is one whoso wish is ever true (Satya-sankalpa), yet he is dependent on the Lord and on the Lord alone. The author shows this fact in the next Sutra.

Doubt: Is the Mukta under the governance of anyone other than the Supreme Person or not?

Purvapaksha: He is under the governance of Beings other than the Supreme Person. Just as the man who goes to the palace of a king comes under the control of the officials of the king, so also the Mukta who has entered the home of the Lord, comes under the jurisdiction of the companions of the Lord.

Siddhanta: This view is set aside in the next Sutra.
