The general statement of the eight yogadrishtis: Divine vision (91) is not like the anger of self-awareness, the wise physician is the true guru; the guru's command is not like medicine, the thought is meditation.” – Shrimad Rajchandraji's Shri Atmasiddhi “अज्ञानतिमिरान्धानां ज्ञानांजनशलाकया / नेत्रमुन्मीलितं येन तस्मै सद्गुरवे नमः // " The preaching ointment that the true guru applies, reveals the ultimate treasure; the heart's eye beholds the Lord of the world, whose glory is like Mount Meru.” – Shri Anandghanji has said that faith in the scriptures is the foundation of the path, and it implicitly includes faith in the original author of the scriptures, the As Purusha, as well as the true guru who explains the meaning of the scriptures. Because without a true guru, like a waking eye, who will explain the scriptures? The scriptures do not become self-explanatory! They are understood through the mouth of a knowledgeable true guru, who has opened the eyes of knowledge, and only then are they understood; without such a guru, the scriptures become inaccessible! Because “without the eye, the word is not understood”, “without the eye” – the guidance of the true guru, it is not understood; and that “divine eye” is revealed by serving the feet of the true guru. “Without the eye, it is not obtained, without the eye, the word is not understood; serve the feet of the true guru, then it is obtained directly. The thirst that is quenched, has a method of quenching; without the guru's understanding, it is not obtained, this is the eternal state.” – Shrimad Rajchandraji The ultimate eye makes the path, O Lord, the whole world is lost, with the eye, we go on the path, the eye is the divine thought. I have seen the path.” – Shri Anandghanji Thus, here the scripture writer has concluded with the principle of Arthapatti Nyaya – the first door to enter this yogadrishti is faith in the scriptures. The scriptures are the words of the As Purusha. To follow his command with faith is the first step on the path of yoga, it is the opening of the “vision”, otherwise it is blindness, therefore, the living being should abandon the free will of disbelief, abandon the free will of the mind's imagination, and follow the true scriptures – the command of the true guru, and with true faith, practice this path of yoga, this is the sound of the teaching. The living being who is free-willed, will surely attain liberation; those who have attained are infinite, the faultless Jina has spoken.” – Shrimad Rajchandraji's Shri Atmasiddhi
