For how does it matter to the wise men whether a particular doctrine belongs to their own school or to an alien school ? What they consider 'to be worthy of acceptace is that doctripe which does not go counter to the testimony of observation and inference.
स्वल्पमत्यनुकम्पायै योगशास्त्रमहार्णवात् । आचार्यहरिभद्रेण योगबिन्दुः समुद्धृतः ॥५२६॥ svalpamatyanukam pāyai yogaśāstramahārnavāt /
ācāryaharibh adreņa yogabinduḥ samuddhịtaḥ 1/526|| With a view to doing favour to the dull-witted persons Ācārya Haribhadia bas picked up this drop of yoga from the great ocean of yoga-texts.
. . . समुद्धृत्यार्जित पुण्यं यदेनं शुभयोगतः । भवान्ध्यविरहात् तेन जनः स्ताद् योगलोचनः ॥५२७॥ smuddhriyārjitaṁ punyaṁ gadenań śubhayogataḥ /
bhavāndhyavirahat tena janaḥ stad yogalocanaḥ 1152711 .And whatever merit might have been earned as a result of this picking up which, in its turn, has been characterized by an auspicious manner of doing things, may that enable the mass of people to be rid of the blindness of the form of worldly existence and hence be yoga-eyed.
