The collection of *gadashti* indicates that one is a *kulgi* from birth. Hundreds of examples of *kulgis* can be given, which are the result of the practice of yoga in previous births. Such *kulyogis* naturally have speed inherent in them. As soon as they wake up from sleep, shaking off laziness, they remember the events of the previous night, and then they quickly and swiftly pass through the stages of *pravrittachakradi* yoga and attain the state of *gadashana* - the state of *siddha*.
The *kulgi* nature, which is described as birth in this *yogikul*, is in relation to spiritual *sanskar*, i.e., it is *sanskar* itself in the form of birth. Just as a man has an external birthplace, similarly, a *gipurusha* has this spiritual birth in a subtle form. In practical terms, just as the external, well-developed body is born, similarly, in terms of ultimate reality, the *yogasanskar* is the birth of the soul, which is endowed with *sanskar*. Just as the gross body of a man is created from the *bijaadhana*, similarly, the subtle *sanskar* body of the soul is created from the *g-bijaadhana*. Just as there are external parents who are the *bijaadhana* of the external body, similarly, there are *yogis* who are the parents in the form of *bijaadhana* of this spiritual subtle body. Just as qualities and characteristics are inherited from parents in the physical body, similarly, *gunasanskar* is inherited from the spiritual *sanskaraswami* *gis* in this subtle body. Just as "like father, like son, and like grandfather, like grandson", similarly, these *gi-balas* are like *gipitas*. But external birth has the purpose of rebirth, while this spiritual *sanskarajanama* has the purpose of non-rebirth. Practical birth has the purpose of death, while this ultimate birth has the purpose of immortality. Or, that external gross body birth is not really birth in terms of ultimate reality, but in terms of feeling, it is the death of the soul, it is the death of feeling; the true ultimate birth of the soul is to be born endowed with *sanskar*. This ultimate, blessed, ultimate *sanskarajanama* has been attained by these *kulyogis*, and from birth, they have attained the religion of *yogis*.
And others who are naturally inclined towards the religion of *yogis* are also *kulgis*. That is, those who follow the religion of *yogis* are also called " *kulgis* ".
What is this " *gi dharma* "? One who has a connection with yoga is a *yogi*, and the connection of the soul with liberation, which is its nature, is called yoga. So, one who has a connection with the soul's nature, i.e., one who has attained the pursuit of the soul's nature, is a *yogi*, and the religion that such a *yogi* has is *gidharma*. What is it? Thus, to pursue the soul's nature, to practice and cultivate the soul's nature, to attain self-realization, is the religion of *yogis*. Moreover, the word " *dharma* " also indicates the same feeling, because the nature of a thing is its *dharma*.
