Verses begin here, and the first of them is a commonplace of all later literature: the mind must be made nirviṣaya, «objectless», and it is divided into pure and impure by the mark of desire. These verses do not belong to this book. They stand almost word for word in the Amṛtabindu-upaniṣad (1–2), in the Maitrī-upaniṣad, and in the Yoga-vāsiṣṭha; such verses circulated among books as proverbs do, and every compendium inserted them into its own.
The position voiced in them was discussed when reading Adhyātma and Annapūrṇā, and there is no need to repeat the analysis. Let me recall only the substance of the objection. The mind never exists without an object: it is always about something, and this is its structure, not its fault. One who bids the mind be objectless bids it stop being a mind — and usually achieves not freedom, but torpor or self-deception.
The Vaishnava solution to the same problem is different and, in my view, the only feasible one. Not to strip the mind of an object, but to give it an object that does not corrupt it. Desire is here named a mark of impurity; but it is not desire itself that is impure, but its direction — toward what comes to an end. One who has come to desire the eternal desires not less than before, but more — and no torpor is required for this.
Let us add too what this same book itself said when reading the thirty-eighth line: «barely born, the desirer desires desire». There desire was declared innate; and sixty lines on, the mind is bidden to be purified of it. This contradiction is common in compendia of this kind and is explained by the fact that the verses are taken from different places.
