## Friend's View: Grasping the Seed
**(109)** He who is established in this view, takes up the seeds of yoga; the wise know that these are the infallible causes of liberation.
**Meaning:** One who is established in this view, takes up the seeds of yoga, which are the infallible causes of liberation. This is known by the wise.
**Commentary:**
"The seeds of yoga reside here" - Shri G. Daszai.
One who is established in this view, takes up the seeds of yoga, as mentioned below. These seeds are the infallible causes of liberation. Just as a tree grows from a seed and eventually bears fruit, here too, these seeds are taken up and planted in the mind, which develop into a tree of liberation and bear the fruit of liberation.
Just as a small banyan seed, when combined with the right soil, water, etc., grows into a vast banyan tree, so too, a small mango seed, when planted, grows into a large mango tree and bears sweet mangoes. Similarly, here too, these seeds are taken up, which, with the right emotions, water, etc., will eventually lead to liberation and bear the fruit of supreme bliss.
Thus, these seeds are "infallible" - they are not barren, but will surely bear the fruit of liberation.
"The seed grows into a tree, spreading endlessly, with the help of soil and water; my inner wealth is revealed, the Lord's assembly is manifested." - Shri Devchandraji
"The reader will say, 'I will hear it,' and it will bear fruit, it is true." - Shri Yashovijayji
By obtaining these seeds of yoga, the character of this person improves! His inner emotions change! The obstacles are removed and he becomes virtuous. The emotions that were previously obstacles, now, due to the power of these seeds,
