336. Asokah – " One who has no sorrows. " Sorrow is a condition

experienced when the mind is agitated and extremely disturbed. The

agitations of the mind come from desires, greed, etc. Therefore, the

term Asokah indicates, " One who has none of these negative tendencies

that create in their turn more and more mental disturbances " . This is a

true appalation, because, the Lord, as the Self, transcends the realm

of the thought-disturbances constituted by the mind-intellect-

equipment.
