YOGABINDU
So far as the actual behaviour of the persons in question (i.c. of the persons entitled to practise looga) is concerned it too is ju all cases undertaken to the accompaniment of prolonged reflection and results in the avoidance of the likely unhappy contingencies.
तत्प्रणेतृसमाक्रान्तचित्तरत्नविभूषणा । साध्यसिद्धावनौत्सुक्यगाम्भीर्यस्तिमितानना ||२४७॥ tatpranelysamākrāntacillaralnavibhūşanā /
sādhyasiddhāv anautsukyagāmblīrjastimitānanā 1/247|| The beauty of the behaviour in question is that the agent's mind-comparable to a jewel-is filled with (the memory of) those (great religious preachers) who have prescribed this course of behaviour; again, here the agent's face bears a smiling complexion due to that serenity which is born of an absence of all auxiety as to the success (or otherwise) of the task undertaken.
फलबद्रुमसद्वीजप्ररोहसदृशं तथा । साध्वनुष्ठानमित्युक्तं सानुबन्धं महर्षिभिः ॥२४८॥ phalavaddrumasadbījaprarohasaděsam tathā /
sādhuanuşthānam ity uklam sānubandham maharşibhih 1/248// Thus the type of ethico-religious performance which leads to one success after another in close succession and for ever has been deemed proper by the great sages and has been compared by them to the shooting forth of sprout from a highiy efficacious seed which will ultimately result in a tree laden with fruits.
अन्तविवेकसम्भूतं शान्तोदात्तमविप्लुतम् । नाग्रोद्भवलताप्रायं बहिश्चेष्टाधिमुक्तिकम् ॥२४९॥ anlarvivekasambhūtam śāntodallam aviplulam ,
nāgrodbhavalatā prāyam bahisceşļādhimuktikam 1/249!/ The performance in question is born of an inner power of discrimination, is characterized by self-restrain and high-mindedness, is not like a creeper grown forth at the end-point of a tree (and hence incapable of generating out of itself a series of such creepers), is accompanied by a faith in the externals of religious observances.
