________________ रेचकपूरककुम्भककरणाभ्यासक्रम विनापि खलु । स्वयमेव नश्यति मरुत् विमनस्के सत्ययत्नेन ॥४४॥ Meaning : When the state of indifference is attained, the wind (breath) naturally becomes extinct without the need of the practices of exhaling, inhaling, and suspending, as also of various stances and postures. चिरमाहितप्रयत्नैरपि धतु यो हि शक्यते नैव । सत्येऽमनस्के तिष्ठति स समीरस्तत्क्षणादेव ॥४५॥ Meaning : The breath that can not be steadied even by continued practices is at once stabilized at a point by the yogi once the state of indifference is attained. जातेऽभ्यासे स्थिरतामुदयति विमले च निष्कले तत्त्वे । मुक्त इव भाति योगी समूलमुन्मलितश्वासः ॥४६॥ Meaning : Once the practice of indifference is unwavering and the true reality is percieved, the yogi, who has absolute control over the wind, shines forth as an emancipated one. यो जाग्रदवस्थायां स्वस्थः सुप्त इव तिष्ठति लयस्थः । श्वासोच्छ्वासविहीनः स हीयते न खलु मुक्तिजुषः ॥४७॥ Meaning : The yogi who is poised in the self (soul) while awake, appears as if he is sleeping when in deep meditation (laya) A yogi with suspended breath in that laya state of meditation is no less than the liberated one (Siddha). 262 Yoga Shashtra Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
