वीतरागो विमुच्येत वीतरागं विचिन्तयन् ।
रागिणं तु समालम्ब्य रागी स्यात् क्षोभणादिकृत् ॥ १३ ॥
Meaning By meditating about the detached, one himself becomes detached and gets free from the karmic bondage. By meditating about the attached, one himself becomes a victim of attachment and gets involved in desire, anger, joy, grief, love, and hatred.
येन येन हि भावेन युज्यते यन्त्रवाहकः ।
तेन तन्मयतां याति विश्वरूपो मणिर्यथा ॥ १४ ॥
Meaning: He, who constantly indulges in a certain sentiment, comes to be identified with that particular sentiment, just as a crystal that assumes the colour in juxtaposition of which it is placed.
नाऽसद्ध्यानानि सेव्यानि कौतुकेनाऽपि किन्त्विह । स्वनाशयैव जायन्ते सेव्यमानानि तानि यत ।। १५ ।।
Meaning : Even without desire, out of curiosity, one should not indulge in wrong meditation (ill thinking), because thereby he himself will be the cause of his own down fall.
सिध्यन्ति सिद्धयः सर्वाः स्वयं मोक्षाऽवलम्बिनाम् । संदिग्धा सिद्धिरन्येषां स्वार्थभ्रन्शस्तु निश्चितः ।। १६ ।।
Meaning: All the Siddhis (extraordinary powers) are obtained in natural course by those who have directed all their efforts, towards emancipation. Those who hanker after wordly happiness are doubtful to get these Siddhis. However, they definetely lose their goal of emancipation. C
