Therefore, the Gadsi community should properly follow the path of the great men, and the discerning should act righteously without transgression. This is the path of the great men, in brief: (1) Here, even subtle suffering should be avoided with effort, (2) Always strive for the welfare of others, (3) Worship the great ones - the Guru, the Deities, the learned Brahmins, and the ascetic Yatis - with a sincere mind, as appropriate, (4) Even towards those great sinners who are extremely afflicted by the karma of their fathers, have utmost compassion - not envy. This is the highest Dharma.
And so on, having attained these virtues, one who abandons all wrong views and attains the four visions, will now attain the fifth vision, like a shower of nectar.
“Abandoning all wrong views, having attained the four visions; one will now attain the fifth, a shower of nectar of fame.
...O charming Jinendra! Sweet is your speech.” Thus says Sakzaya.
Yoga-darshan Kalash Kavya
: Shalini: In the lamp, what is the light that illuminates? It is the illumination of the mind that shines; through Pranayama, it fills the self, and through love, it attains the knowledge of the truth. 57
Through outward breath, it expels outward, through inward breath, it draws inward; the Yogi considers it stable through Kumbhaka, thus is Pranayama through love. 58
Pranayama is complete in this state, Dharma is considered greater than even life, one abandons life for the sake of Dharma, one does not abandon Dharma for the sake of life. 59
True love is the only Dharma, it goes beyond death; everything else burns, it merges into ashes with the body. 60
With such a deep understanding of Dharma, one becomes eager for the knowledge of the truth; one says that Dharma is greater than even life, one embraces it with devotion. 61
Just as one leaves salty water and drinks sweet water, just as a sprout emerges from a seed, in the same way, through the influence of the knowledge of the truth, the seed of Yoga sprouts. 62
Just as salty water is like the world, the knowledge of the truth is like sweet water, all good things are obtained from it, the happiness of devotion to the Guru is obtained. 63
Through the influence of devotion to the holy Guru, one attains the darshan of the Tirtha Swami; through meditation, one attains the state of liberation, one aims for Nirvana. 64
