For the expert yogis who have mastered the collection of insights, this vision that grants them direct realization of that state is supremely beloved, extremely dear, what wonder in that? Therefore, the yogi constantly yearns for this vision, constantly holds a devotional desire, and praises the wise one who is endowed with such unattached knowledge:
“Even though he has a body, his state is beyond the body; at the feet of that knower, O countless salutations.” —Shri Atmasiddhi
: Essence of the Prabha Dristi: The seventh Prabha Dristi is beloved of meditation. Therefore, in this, the seventh citta-dosha named “roga” is not present, and this vision is endowed with the seventh guna named tattva-pratipatti, and especially is united with shama, and is the one that grants the sat-pravritti-pada, the path of right action.
In this vision, there is meditation-born happiness, which conquers the objects of desire such as words, etc., and is born from viveka-bala, the power of knowledge, and is always united with shama, because the fruit of viveka is shama. Similarly, all that is dependent is suffering, and all that is self-dependent is happiness. In brief, the Muni has described the characteristics of happiness and suffering. Even happiness that expects punya is dependent, because punya is external, and therefore, this happiness that expects punya is suffering due to the attainment of its characteristics. Only meditation-born happiness is the true happiness, because it is independent, and is born only from karma-viyoga. Here, because the bond is pure, the great Munis always have meditation, because that which is almost free from defilement is always auspicious.
The sat-pravritti-pada, known by the name asanga-anushtana, is attained here. It is the path of the great path, and is the one that grants the eternal state. This asanga-anushtana is sung by the yogis by many names: prashanta-vahitta, vibhaga-parikshaya, shiva-varma, dhruva-bhaga; the yogi who is situated here quickly attains this. Therefore, this vision that grants this state is beloved of the yogi.
