(28) The collection of virtues, the *gadashtis*, ultimately reaches the peak of the *yoga-giri* (mountain of yoga), and a sound arises within its soul, saying, "The path is found, doubts are dispelled; those waters are gone, the self is distinct." - Shrimad Rajchandraji. Such a *samarthya-yogi* (capable yogi) has the strength to move forward due to his self-power. He possesses such immense self-power, cultivated through restraint, that it overflows. The source of this overflowing power, this accumulation of energy, is his consistent practice of *yoga* according to the ideal *shakti* (power) method. He has accumulated immense power through the *yoga* of self-restraint. Because before reaching this stage of *samarthya-yogi*, he first became truly desirous. He attained *ichchha* (desire), *shravana* (hearing), etc., achieved *samyagdarshan* (right vision), and attained self-knowledge. But he still had a degree of *pramada* (distraction) in his character and restraint. He was a *pramatt yogi* (distracted yogi). Then he became a *shastra-yogi* (scriptural yogi). Having known the complete secrets of the scriptures, he became extremely devout and free from distraction, a *samyat yogi* (restrained yogi). Thus, he progressively increased his restraint. He stopped the dissipation of the soul's energy, which was being wasted by the *pramatt yoga* of mind, speech, and body. He restrained the soul as much as possible in its true form, keeping it restrained, and thus accumulated immense self-power (mobilization). Even now, as he journeys on the path of *yoga* in this *samarthya-yogi* stage, he remains intensely self-confident, continuously increasing his infinite restraint and accumulating intense self-power. This generates an outburst of power within him, and the power that does not fit within his body propels him forward. "The power of restraint, you said, is the mark of a wise and skillful person; the seeker, with a heart full of the object of attainment, plays his own role. Our mind is captivated by the Lord's qualities. Unbound by desire, he becomes unbound by non-desire; abiding in the one principle, he contains the perishable power..." - Shri Devchandraji. "Gradually, restraint touches him, he attains the perishable state; the series of restraints blossoms, he worships the liberated state." - Shri Yashovijayaji. And such a *samarthya-yogi* is the best, the chief, in all ages.
