Now, the appropriate authority is needed to test the collection of Gadasti, and that authority is the Kulagi with the great characteristics mentioned here, and the active Cakgis.
Moreover, just as it is not easy to digest glass, and it comes out in reverse without the power to digest, so it is not easy to digest this G-prayagraupa Paro, and if it does not have the strength to digest, it comes out in reverse, in the form of harm! Or, just as it is not easy to digest nutritious yoga-rasayana, and if it is given to an unqualified, weak human being with a weak digestive fire, it becomes heavy for him, and gives a reverse result, to the extent that it even takes his life; but if it is given to an authority with a proper gastric fire, it gives him health and grants him long life; similarly, if this G-rasayana is given to an unqualified being with weak power, it does not digest, and instead, it produces indigestion in the form of false pride, and becomes useless, even causing death in the form of Bhav-pran-haran, Bhav-mrityu; but if it is given to an authority who is a Thegi Purusha, with awakened, powerful energy, it digests properly, and eradicates the disease of birth, giving immortality.
(1) The weapon given to a child who does not even know how to hold a weapon, becomes a killer of himself, and becomes a devourer; but in the hands of a proper weapon expert, a valiant warrior, it becomes a protector. Similarly, this yoga-darshit experiment, if given to an unqualified, inexperienced, ignorant child-being, becomes a devourer of his own misfortune, because it is ill-conceived; and if it comes into the hands of a proper, wise, yoga-authority, it becomes well-conceived, and becomes a protector from the fear of birth. (2) Or, if fire is not held properly, it burns, similarly, if the yoga-agni is not held properly, it burns with the heat of birth-wandering, because it is ill-conceived! (3) Or, a snake, if it is ill-conceived, and held by the tail, kills the holder, similarly, G-prayag, if it is ill-conceived, becomes a cause of death in the form of Bhav-mrityu. As Shriman Haribhadrasuriji said in Shri Yogabindu, if Shramanya-Shramanapan is ill-conceived, it becomes the cause of endless samsara, similarly, if yoga-prayog is ill-conceived, it becomes the cause of endless birth-wandering!
Thus, in all respects, this G-prayog should be placed only in the hands of a proper G-purusha. "Mat ga gha ra nana vyasu dani mih |
Shram garud shvat raaj karo mam |" Yogabindu, 184.
