पुषसेषा
Nothing in the throe worlds is difficult, if the practice of Yoga be not so. Below is described the first means of achieving this task.
The following constitute what is termed [by Haribhadra Acharya's Yoga-Bindu) Primary duty (Purva seva]:-worship of the elders and of God, purity of conduct, practice of religious austerities and absence of aversion to final Beatitude..
Parents, teachers, elders in the caste apa saints devoted to preaching conducive to spiri.
tual good-these constitute the class of elders : (Guru-Varga).
These elders should be saluted with modesty; feelings of respect for them should be cherished in heart; courteous behaviour should be adopted in their presence; and blasphemous talk if carried on regarding them, should not be listened to.
