The general statement of the eight yogadrishtis: The bodha (89) that is imbued with sat-shraddha is called "drishti"; it is the attainment of the sat-pravritti-pada through the cessation of asat-pravritti-baadha. 17. Meaning - The bodha that is in accordance with sat-shraddha is called "drishti". And it is the attainment of the sat-pravritti-pada through the cessation (stopping) of asat-pravritti. Here, the meaning of "drishti" is clearly explained. The bodha that is imbued with sat-shraddha is called "drishti". Here, "sat-shraddha" is specifically mentioned to exclude asat-shraddha. The shraddha that is based on asat-shastra, based on one's own sat-shraddha-based opinion, and that is based on the father's pure mind, is not "drishti". Asat-shraddha is the shraddha that is outside of shastra, where asat-tarka, vitarka, and vikalpa are used. Such asat-shraddha is not present in this "drishti". It is based on sat-shastra, is in accordance with shastra, and follows the agam-rupa ajna of the apt purusha. Such sat-shraddha - true shraddha - is present in it. Only such sat-shraddha is called "drishti". "Drishti" means darshan - to see. It is uninterrupted, there is no obstacle, therefore it is called "darshan" or "drishti". Whether it is slightly open or fully open, whatever is seen when it is open is "drishti". It is seen, it is seen, there is no obstacle. Darshan is thus "drishti", so saying "drishti" is "darshan" is true. To understand this properly, let's take the example of the eye, the charmachakshu - when the eye is closed, nothing is seen, then when the eye is slightly open, the nearby object is seen faintly, then when it is opened more, it is seen more, as the eye opens, more and more is seen, finally when the eye is fully open - asat-pravritti-chadhara-asat-pravritti-vyaaghatha (cessation). That is, due to such shraddha - shraddha-anta-pana - due to the cessation of shastra-viruddha-pravritti - cessation, what? That is, it brings about sat-pravritti-pavad - sat-pravritti-pada. That is, it brings about the pravritti-pada that is not against shastra. It means that it brings about the ghas-vidya-pada by abandoning the adya-sanvedya-pada. Although the sthira-adi-drishti is vedya-pada-rupa, it is also adesha due to its general lakshana-pana. Or, sat-pravritti-pada is the sheleshi-pada from paramartha. That is, there is no fault in the tat-pada-avah-pana of this drishti, in its attainment of that pada.
