Yogadristi Samuccaya is biased, and action without emotion is neutral. The difference between these two is so vast that it can be compared to the distance between the sun and a firefly. The blazing sun and the flickering fireflies, the distance between these two lights is the same as the distance between the biased and the neutral action. The biased is like the sunlight, and the neutral action is like the firefly light. So the biased is much greater.
Someone might doubt that what benefit is there in just having bias towards this subject? The benefit comes from action, how can it come from just a biased interest? The answer to this is given in the above example. This Ganasastra, the biased towards the subject, the philosophical bias, the true emotional bias, the benefit from this is not a small matter, because such bias does not arise without inner interest and love, it does not arise without inner emotion. So the value of this emotional bias arising from inner interest and emotion is as much as we can estimate, and compared to the infinite material action that we do without emotion, it is the extremely small value of that emotionless action. If one person has true emotion and only bias towards this subject, and does not do any Yogasadhana action, and another person does infinite material action without discrimination and emotion, the difference between these two is as much as the distance between the sun and the firefly. Even the one who has only bias with emotion is infinitely greater than the one who does infinite action without emotion. The emotional bias is like the sun, and the emotionless action is like the firefly. So how can these two be compared? Where is the mountain, where is the mustard seed? Where is the ocean, where is the drop? Where is the sun, where is the firefly?
“Those who are engrossed in external action, have no discrimination;
The path of knowledge is forbidden, such action is inert.” Shri Atmasiddhi “Mariya: Itijarjari Na Mavaacha” - Shri Kalyanumandhir Stotra.
And the bias that is being talked about here is the philosophical bias. Philosophical means understanding the ultimate truth, the ultimate truth, the ultimate truth, the bias that arises naturally towards it, understanding the ultimate truth, that is the philosophical bias. There is a lot of difference between this philosophical bias and the non-philosophical bias, it is the distance between heaven and earth, because the bias arising from the desire for votes, the bias arising from the ego of the vote, that is non-philosophical. In that, “mine is true”
