**Meaning of Yogadristi Saasuchchay:** This pure state is characterized by an extremely upadaya buddhi (a mind that is highly receptive to the teachings), the cessation of the distortion of perception (sanjna nidh), and the absence of desire for fruits (falabhisandhi).
**Explanation:** The pure state of mind, etc., mentioned above, is further clarified here. This pure state has three main characteristics: (1) extremely upadaya buddhi, (2) sanjna nidh, (3) absence of desire for fruits (nishkamapana).
1. **Param Upadaya Buddhi:** Firstly, there should be an extremely upadaya buddhi towards the Lord. This means that Shri Jinendra Dev, the liberated soul, is more worthy of respect, acceptance, and worship than anyone else in the entire world. One should develop this supreme upadaya buddhi, recognizing that His virtues and glory are infinitely greater than the entire universe. He should be the supreme guide (Jagadguru), the supreme being (Parameshthi), and the supreme beloved (Param Ishta). One should express the utmost respect towards Him. This upadaya buddhi, this supreme respect, is manifested in its highest form here, because this state is the precursor, the initial stage of Samyagjnana (right knowledge), due to the ripeness of such qualities. Therefore, the devotee, the yogi, who possesses this vision, sees the Lord as the most beloved, the most dear, the most cherished.
"My beloved is the incomparable Jinendra, I desire nothing else. I will not bring any other deity into my mind's temple, that is my way." - Shri Anandghanji
"The Lord of the three worlds, the self-existent, the worthy of worship." - Shri Devchandraji
"What have I gained from the virtues of Sumatinath? My heart is filled with joy. Like a drop of oil spreads beautifully in water..." - Shri Yashovijayji
However, this skillful mind, etc., devoid of desire for fruits, is also characterized by the ability to overcome obstacles (abhinagranthi) due to the power of complete activation (charma yathapravrittikaran) and the ability to overcome suffering (kshapashamsar). This is like the selfless state of a non-distracted ascetic (apramat yati) - as the yogacharyas have said:
"The seed of yoga in the mind of one who is submerged in the ocean of existence is the part that emerges from the water. It is the cause of the weakening of attachment (sakta) and the first aversion to the world (prakriti). It is the cause of the awakening of the mind (samujjasana). It is the cause of the destruction of the mountain of obstacles (granthi parvat) by the unbreakable rule (niyama). It is the cause of the destruction of the obstacles (granthi) by the power of the mind (bhavacarakapalayan). It is the cause of the removal of the obstacles (apasar)."
And so on, in brief. (For meaning, see explanation).
This skillful mind, etc., towards the Jina, is like the beginning of the ripening of the fruit (falpak). It is a natural state (svabhavapana) that arises from the time (kal) and other factors. (It is like the beginning of the ripening of the fruit).
