**The Collection of Gadasti (2)** or the fruit of Yama is Upshama, meaning the cessation of all Kshayas, such as anger, etc. The one who observes Yama, such as Ahimsa, etc., experiences the cessation of Kshayas, such as anger, etc., and also brings about the cessation of Kshayas in others. Because Ahimsa, Satya, etc., naturally eliminate the causes of Kshayas, such as anger, etc., and the influence of the character of the non-violent, truthful speaker naturally affects other beings, thus leading to the cessation of Kshayas in oneself and others. (3) Or, the one who serves Yama, such as Ahimsa, etc., attains Samabhava, a state of equanimity and peace. Because the soul that is equanimous considers all beings equal, considering honor and dishonor, praise and blame, etc., as equal, therefore, it does not experience the disharmony of unrest. (4) Or, the one who observes Yama, such as Ahimsa, etc., experiences Shama, meaning peace in one's own form, and becomes absorbed in that form. The natural fruit of the excellent Yama, such as Ahimsa, etc., is to become absorbed in one's own form. Because not allowing the destruction of one's own form and not moving towards external influences is the ultimate essence of Ahimsa, etc. Therefore, through such Ahimsa, etc., the being becomes free from all external influences and enjoys the ultimate peace of the soul, which is the peace of one's own form, meaning it becomes absorbed in its own form. (See page 395 and page 572)
Or, conversely, the observance of Yama is the essence of Shama everywhere. Because (1) when a being attains Shama, meaning the cessation of Kshayas, its evil thoughts of greed, pride, delusion, and attachment are eliminated. The essence of Shama is Yama, meaning that one does not succumb to anger, etc., and does not engage in violence, etc., and naturally leans towards Ahimsa, etc. (2) Or, when a being attains peace, it also brings peace to others, and does not cause suffering to others through violence, etc. (3) Or, when a being attains Shama, meaning equanimity, it considers all beings equal and does not engage in violence, etc., and observes Ahimsa, etc. (4) Or, when a being attains the ultimate peace of the soul, which is the peace of one's own form, and becomes absorbed in its own form, it naturally observes the excellent Yama, such as Ahimsa, etc.
Thus, the observance of Yama is the essence of Shama, and Shama is the essence of the observance of Yama, meaning they are mutually integrated. The seeker who attains Yama, meaning Uparam (restraint), also attains Shama, meaning Upshama (cessation), and the one who attains Shama-Upshama also attains Yama-Uparam. Yama is there, Shama is there, because the one who attains the cessation of Kshayas, etc., experiences Shama due to the objects of sense, etc., and there is necessarily Uparam-restraint from violence, etc., due to Yama. And the one who has Uparam from violence, etc., due to the objects of sense, etc., experiences the cessation of Kshayas, etc., because there is Kshaya from the object of sense, and the object of sense from Kshaya. Therefore, the one who attains restraint also attains peace, and the one who attains peace also attains restraint.
