With a pure heart and a desire to hear the truth, the true Dharma, the Dharma of the self, comes along with the Dharma friend. (24) Therefore, understanding that "the hand is with the hand," the wise man, with his soul, worships Dharma as much as he can.
इत्थं सदाशयोपेतस्तत्त्वश्रवणतत्परः। प्राणेभ्यः परमं धर्म बलादेव प्रपद्यते ॥६०॥ Thus, with a pure heart, he is eager to hear the truth. He accepts Dharma, which is greater than life itself, by force. 60 Meaning - Thus, with a pure heart, he is eager to hear the truth, and accepts Dharma, which is greater than life itself, by force.
Discussion
As mentioned above, this insightful yogi considers Dharma to be his ultimate friend and well-wisher. He develops a deep friendship with Dharma, a strong Dharma bond. As the saying goes, "Whoever you associate with, you become like them," he becomes a true Dharma soul, a Dharma embodiment, through the influence of Dharma's company. The influence of Dharma permeates him, reaching his very bones and marrow. Because - "Excellent qualities, through love...we get the best place...qualities.
Excellent is his own glory...the best place in the world...qualities." Shri Yashovijayji "Excellence increases with excellent company, infinite joy with it." - Shri Devchandraji.
And thus, his mind and intention become pure and radiant, leading to good and auspicious results. His mental state becomes as clear and bright as crystal,
so that he becomes a suitable vessel (Receptacle) with a pure heart to receive the pure water of truth. Good company removes vices and brings about the truth of Dharma, just as the company of this Dharma friend removes evil conduct and brings about the attainment of good conduct. The mind becomes pure, clear, and detached, and when the mind becomes pure, it results in the manifestation of virtues like devotion. - Explanation - Thus, with a pure heart, he is eager to hear the truth, and accepts Dharma, which is greater than life itself, by force, due to his nature. This is not a forced elevation, but a natural inclination.
