| Summary | "The Yoga-Vasishtha Maharamayana of Valmiki, Vol 4 (of 4), Part 1 (of 2)" by Valmiki is a philosophical text rooted in Hindu spirituality, likely compiled during the early centuries of the Common Era. This volume encompasses teachings on yoga, meditation, and the nature of existence imparted through dialogues between the sage Vasishtha and his disciple Ráma. Central themes include the concepts of egoism, the nature of reality, and the pursuit of liberation (nirvána). The opening of the work introduces a discourse where Ráma seeks clarity from Vasishtha regarding the practice of action without attachment to the fruits—essentially the notion of selfless action. Vasishtha elaborates on the concept of egoism, suggesting that true liberation comes from relinquishing the identification with one's ego and desires. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing the illusory nature of worldly attachments and the necessity for a tranquil mind, devoid of desires, to attain peace. This dialogue sets the stage for deeper philosophical inquiries into the workings of the mind and the essence of the universe as discussed throughout the subsequent chapters.
