The Samyagdrishti (right-seeing) Yogis, who have renounced all attachments, are delighted by the essence of the experience of their own self. If they easily get rid of the flow of the influx of passions, then the discipline of equanimity (Samvar) is manifested in them.
(1) How can the sweet notes of the cuckoo bird delight those Yogis whose minds are absorbed in the unstruck sound (Anahata Nada)? How can the dance of the enchantress (Anubhuti Nati) please them? How can they be captivated by the soft sound of the bangles of the beloved, when they are engrossed in the eternal and pure-natured sound?
(2) How can the perishable and blood-stained form please those Yogis who behold the imperishable and naturally pure form?
(3) Those who delight in the fragrance of virtue, how can they be pleased by the fragrant substances like musk and sandalwood? Because the other fragrances do not last long and are quickly dispersed by the wind, but the fragrance of virtue lasts for a long time and cannot be taken away by the wind of delusion.
(4) How can those whose minds are constantly immersed in the tranquil rasa (sentiment) of the ninth stage (Navama Shanta Rasa) be pleased by the initially pleasurable but ultimately painful rasa? Those who taste the sweet rasa, their tongues become moist, but those detached persons, on contemplating its dreadful consequences, shed tears from their eyes.
(5) How can those Samyagdrishti (right-seeing) persons be attached to external touch, who are resting, embracing the wife of steadfastness (Dhritipattni) in the pure and well-conceived lake where the flowers of virtues are spread?
Thus, these objects of the world do not delight this detached and discerning Samyagdrishti person. Alas! These great souls, having drunk the nectar of supreme bliss, have become so lazy that they are even devoid of desire for the happiness of the next world!
These wise, steadfast, and detached Samyagdrishti great beings are diligent in the abandonment of obstacles to dharma. They constantly strive to act in such a way that no obstacle arises in their spiritual development, i.e., they make efforts to conduct themselves in accordance with the nature of the self as much as possible, and they are free from other dispositions.
