"In this there are two methods. One is the destructive method; the other is the constructive method. To give up all the desires in the Manas is destructive; to be happy in the antaḥkaraṇa is constructive! To pull out the impure plants that have sprouted in the soil of the heart and make the heart pure is destructive! To plant delight in God in the pure soil of the heart is constructive! To grow the crop you want is constructive! To pull out the impure plants you do not need is destructive! Here, you must take the vāsanās for sense objects to be the plants that are not needed, and delight in God to be the plant that is needed. The Manas is nothing but a bundle of desires. When the desires go, the Manas will not be there, will it? How so? Take a cloth. Because threads have come together in it, this way and that, it has taken the form of cloth. If you take out the threads of the cloth one by one, where is the cloth? In the same way, because the threads called desires have come together this way and that, the form called the Manas has taken shape. When the desires themselves are gone, the Manas has no form at all. When the Manas itself is no more, then alone is one a sthitaprajña."
