The Yogadristi-samuccaya (the collection of yogic vision) is the form of the goal, it is unwavering and accurate, it is not crooked or deviating, it is not wavering or erring. Thus, in this example of the arrow, the arrow's unwavering movement is accurate; because the arrow is aimed at the target with unwavering speed and pursuit, its movement towards the target is also accurate and unwavering. And if the arrow is not aimed at the target with unwavering speed and pursuit, it is wavering and erring, its movement towards the target is also crooked and wavering. Similarly, if the yoga is unwavering, its action is also unwavering; and if the yoga is wavering, its action is also wavering, this is the rule.
Therefore, after the yoga, which is the form-vision-recognition of the Purusha, any action like veneration, etc., is unwavering. The action that is before that recognition is wavering, it is unsuccessful and drying up. Because this being has not kept any grains in the infinite actions of the Satpurusha from time immemorial, it has not left anything behind in the infinite effort without effort. (See p. 162) Indeed! This being has been born in the world of the beloved countless times, perfectly observing the infinite actions of the Dravya Shramanavachka. But without that feeling, all this effort of the father has gone to waste! Because this life was in the opposite direction, in the wrong direction. What is the use of cutting millions of miles in the wrong direction? Even one step in the right direction brings you closer to the goal, but this being did that, and therefore it wandered. All this failed, the reason is that it did not have the yoga of the Purusha. It may have met the Purusha many times, but it did not recognize the Satpurusha as its own form, so it did not attain welfare. If it had once recognized the form of the Purusha and offered it veneration and prostration, it would have crossed the ocean long ago! Because "one prostration to Jinavaravrushabha Vadhamana saves men and women from the ocean of samsara" - this is evident from the scriptures. If it had once offered veneration according to the scriptures, it would have realized the success of the action due to the true cause. (See p. 3, "Fuve Namuad" etc.)
Thus, it may have offered veneration, etc., to the Purusha countless times, but without recognition, this action of veneration, etc., became wavering, unsuccessful and erring! Yes, it became bound by auspiciousness, it earned merit, but the wandering towards the goal of the world did not stop; it got the many-faceted fruit of the four paths, but it did not get the one-faceted fruit of liberation! Moreover, this being was in the same delusion, even more than the wavering of infinite actions without the form of the goal, that I am doing dharma, I am striving, I am doing actions that lead to liberation. And with such a deluded belief, it...
