Here is a verse that cancels the prescription of the preceding one, and deserves noting. There it was commanded to abandon every reflection; here it is commanded mamaka-padam hridi bhavayasva, "contemplate my place in the heart." That is, the mind is not left empty: it is given an object, and the object is named by a first-person possessive pronoun — "my place."
This change deserves stating, for it is the very one discussed when reading verse forty-four. Emptiness is prescribed and, a line on, replaced by occupation; and this, in my view, is not carelessness but an inevitability: every teaching, once it reaches the point of prescription, is forced to give the mind something to stand on. Let us add the word mamaka-padam, "my place."
Pada means "foot, step, place"; discussed when reading the Tarasara (1.11). That is, one is told to contemplate not the self and not emptiness, but His place; and from this verse the book turns — the next two will be directly about service. Worth noting too is the first half: the world is produced by sankalpa-matra, "a mere intention."
This position is well known in Vedanta; but worth noting is whose intention is meant. If mine, the world would vanish when I sleep, discussed when reading the Panchabrahma (23). If His, the world is His intention, and what must be abandoned is not the world but one's own intention about it; and the line here, it must be said, rather admits the second reading, for it bids one abandon idam sankalpa-matram, "this intention," not every intention.
