(26) Having spent all the accumulated wealth, one should perform [spiritual practices] with all one's soul, without hiding any strength. To perform without hiding the strength and vigor of the father, the non-destructive, is to perform to the best of one's ability. Thus, this scriptural man is (1) sharp-witted, (2) faithful, (3) diligent to the best of his ability. Here, "sharp-witted" implies right knowledge, "faithful" implies right faith, and "diligent" implies right conduct. Thus, this scriptural man is the best devotee-practitioner of the path to liberation, which is in the form of right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct. And such a man's scripture is unwavering and unbroken. The characteristic of *samarthyayoga* is stated:
"The means indicated by the scripture, and that which goes beyond it,
Due to the strength of the power, especially, this is the best,
Called *samarthyayoga*." (5)
Meaning: That which is indicated as a means by the scripture, and which is beyond even that scripture, due to the strength of the power, is this *samarthyayoga*, which is the best.
**Commentary:** Now, the form of the third *samaga* is described here. *Samaga* means the *samarthyayoga*-dominant stage. It is said that the *atmasamarthya* - the strength of the soul - is the main thing in this stage. The scripture states that the *samarthyayoga* is the means, because its statement in the scripture is general.
**Explanation:** That which is beyond the scripture, due to the strength of the power, is beyond the scripture. (That which goes beyond even the scripture. Why? It is said that due to the strength of the power, it is beyond the scripture, due to its strength and power. It is beyond the scripture, especially, not generally. Because the scripture is general in its nature. This *samarthyayoga* is the best, the most important. Because due to its being the cause of liberation, it quickly and directly leads to the fruit of liberation.
