On the other hand, in this state of complete detachment, the situation of the Siddha Yogi, the Knower, is different. (597) And for this very reason, because this Siddha Yogi, the Knower, has attained the third stage, which is like the Amrit Kalash (pot of nectar) and is non-retrogressive, they do not have any practices like material repentance, etc., which are useful for seekers. It is non-retrogressive because the ultimate goal of all actions is the pure self-realization, which is like the Amrit Kalash, and this realization of the pure self has already been attained here. Therefore, there is nothing left to be achieved. Because, “Repentance is that which turns the soul back from the many extensive and specific good and bad actions that have been done in the past.” Or, “Repentance is the return to the original place of one who has gone to another place due to being overpowered by delusion from his own place.” In other words, repentance is the return to the original pure state of the self from the state of corruption. This kind of return to the pure innate self-nature, which is the ultimate goal of repentance, has already been attained here. Therefore, they have manifested a state of complete innocence and purity, where even the slightest transgression is impossible. Then, where is the scope for repentance, which is the atonement for transgression? Thus, they attain the state of non-retrogression, which is the ultimate state of pure self-nature and the state of being like the Amrit Kalash. The same applies to the matter of non-rejection, etc.
Here, this example is given: To climb a mountain, one has to perform the action of climbing, but once one has reached the top of the mountain, there is no need to climb anymore. Similarly, to climb the mountain of Yoga, one has to perform the action of climbing, which is the gradual crossing of the stages of Yoga, but once one has reached the peak of the mountain of Yoga, there is no need to perform any action of climbing, which is the practice of Yoga.
The means of support and practice that are essential and unavoidable for the seeker, who is still in the process of seeking, are not needed at all for the Knower, who has attained the state of realization. Because, what is the need for climbing for one who has already climbed? What is the need for attaining for one who has already attained? What is the need for eating for one who has already been fed? Thus, the situation of the Knower of Yoga, who has attained the ultimate state of self-absorption and ultimate knowledge, is different. Why should the law apply to the ordinary people? Why should they be subject to the speculations of the ordinary people? And why should the ordinary people be able to imitate such Knowers? What is the use of offering food to one who is not hungry?
+ “If you ask about the happiness of being united with the beloved, then your mind is not pure.” - Samayasar Ga. 383. "Repentance is the return to the original place of one who has gone to another place due to being overpowered by delusion from his own place."
