## Yoga Disamucchaya (058)
If this is given by someone who has not themselves heard (Shravana) etc., it is Avidhyan (ignorance). Because, how absurd is it for someone who has not themselves heard (Shravana) etc., to give it to others, to make them hear? How senseless is it? And thus, if it is given by someone who is not qualified, it leads to blame due to the possibility of the recipient's (Pratyavayana) acceptance, as Shri Aachaarya Bhagavate says.
Therefore, just as there is a need for a worthy listener (Shrota), there is an even greater need for a worthy speaker (Vakta) - a compassionate teacher (Vyakhyata). Only someone who is knowledgeable (Jagnu), wise (Sujanu), learned (Jnani), experienced (Anubhavi), and a true speaker of the Gita (Gita Vakta) is qualified to give teachings (Upadesh) and can give good teachings (Sadupadesh). But if the speaker is ignorant (Ajagnu), uninformed (Ajnani), inexperienced (Khinanubhavi), and not a true speaker of the Gita (Agitaatha Gita Jnani Vakta), then they can never be qualified to give teachings (Upadesh). And if such a person climbs onto the platform (Vyakhyanpith) and pretends to be a speaker (Vakta Khaji),
showing off their eloquence (Vachalpana) for the sake of praise (Manava) and worship (Poojava), then they are only acting ignorantly (Avidhiye Vatata) and betraying the trust of the learned (Jnani). Therefore, only a virtuous person (Satpurush) who is qualified in the rituals of hearing (Shravana) etc., experienced in the path of liberation (Chaugmag), compassionate (Bhavyogi), and a true speaker of the Gita (Gita Jnani) is worthy of being a teacher of this path of liberation (Chaugmag). Only from such a good teacher (Sadupadeshta) can good teachings (Sadupadesh) be received, and only from such a great teacher (Mahatma Sadupadeshta) can the path (Mag) be followed.

"A good teacher is very necessary. A good teacher is very necessary." - Shrimad Rajchandraji
And the giving of this knowledge (Jnandaan) by such good teachers (Sadupadeshta) - virtuous people (Satpurush) - is also extremely beneficial for the sake of peace (Prashaanati) of the knowledge of one's own good (Shreyavidhmani), and for the sake of peace (Prashaanati) of the obstacles (Vighna) in the path of virtue (Punyantaraay). Because, such acts of giving knowledge (Jnandaan) - the highest good deeds (Param Satkaryan) - bring peace (Prashaanati) to the obstacles (Vighna) in one's own good (Shreyavidhni) - one's own welfare (Atmakalyan). It brings extreme peace (Atyant Prashaanati). In other words, it brings peace (Prashaanati) - extreme peace (Atyant Shaanti) - to the obstacles (Antaraya) in the virtue (Punya) that is connected to virtue (Puny anubandhi). Therefore, by giving such sacred scriptures (Shashtra), the obstacles (Antaraye) to one's own attainment of good (Shreyaprapti) are removed, and thus one attains the nectar-like (Maksharoop) success (Safalni) of the highest good (Param Shruti). Thus, since these sacred scriptures (Param Satshastra) themselves bring peace (Prashaanati) to the obstacles (Shreyavighna) in one's own good, their giving (Daan) also brings peace (Prashaanati) to the obstacles (Shreyavighna) in one's own good (Sw-Parne). Therefore, with a selfless (Nishkaam) attitude of welfare (Bhavana) for one's own welfare (Atmakalyanu),
