**Kalasha Kavya of Mitradrishti and Yogadrishti**
One who is not affected by raga (attachment) etc., does not kill any living being, thus not committing suicide.
One speaks the truth, does not utter falsehood, does not steal, and practices celibacy.
One does not have any attachment to possessions, and does not indulge in greed. 17. One who is a friend of the yogi, sows the seeds of liberation in the mind.
These seeds grow and bear the fruit of liberation, just as a banyan seed grows into a large tree.
Such a person becomes a benefactor of the future, just as a seed of a shiva tree bears fruit. 18. Here, the yogi has devotion and love for the Lord.
He worships the Lord, sings hymns and praises his virtues.
With a pure and selfless heart, he bows down to the Lord, forgetting all other thoughts and focusing his mind on the Lord. 19. One who is content with the self, has devotion for the guru, the true teacher, and the saints, the avadhutas, and the munis.
He has pure devotion for all of them in his body, mind, and speech.
