FIRST FOUR YOGA-VIEWPOINTS
and that as a result of the realization of the three 'unfailing. circumstances."
योगक्रियाफलाख्यं यच्छ्यतेऽवञ्चकत्रयम् । Argarfaca qenfàgozafka1977 ||38||
yogakriyaphalakhyaṁ yac chrūyate'vañcakatrayam" [ sādhun āśritya paramam iṣulakṣyakriyopamam ||34||
The three 'unfailing circumstances' of supreme kind are coming in contact with the saintly personages, offering services to them, and reaping the fruit of the service thus offered; these three may be compared to three aspects of the process through which an arrow is made to hit its target (i. e. the first may be compared to the arrow being rightly directed, the second to its being properly shot, and third to the target being worth shooting at).
[34] For a somewhat detailed account of the three 'unfailing circums tances' see the verses 219-21.
एतच्च सत्प्रणामादिनिमित्तं समये स्थितम् ।
अस्य हेतुश्च परमस्तथाभावमलाल्पता || ३५॥
etac ca salpraṇāmādinimittaṁ samaye sthitam | asya hetus ca paramas tathābhāvamalālpatā ||35||

Now the traditonal doctrine is that this (i. e. the realization of the three 'unfailing circumstances' results from acts like offering bow to the noble personages while these acts themselves have for their ultimate cause the diminution of the concerned soul's capacity to receive matter-particles.
[35] The idea of a soul's greater or lesser capacity to receive matterparticles has already been explained in connection with the verse 30.1
नास्मिन् घने यतः सत्सु तत्प्रतीतिर्महोदया । किं सम्यग् रूपमादत्ते कदाचिद् मन्दलोचनः ॥३६॥
nasmin ghane yataḥ satsu talpratitir mahodaya | kim samyag rupam adatte kadācid mandalocanaḥ ||36||
For au attitude of high regard towards noble personages - an attitude ultimately conducive to mokṣa is impossible on the part of one whose soul possesses considerable capacity to receive matter-particles. Is it possible for à dim-sighted person to see things properly?
