योगबीज (गुरु गोरखनाथ परम्परा - महायोग, प्राण-अपान एकत्व एवं कैवल्य-सिद्धि सटीक)

tasmān mūḍhā na jānanti mithyā tarkeṇa veṣṭitāḥ || 43 ||
43. Fools¹ (who speak, but) do not know (the truth), (become) entangled in (the net of) false
arguments.

1. In this context, a fool is one who is immature, which implies not full-grown (above the skull), and without wisdom.
   अहङ्कृतिर् यदा यस्य नष्टा भवति तस्य वै ।
   देहः स तु भवेन् नष्टो व्याधयस् तस्य किम् पुनः ॥ ४४ ॥
   ahaṅkṛtir yadā yasya naṣṭā bhavati tasya vai |
   dehaḥ sa tu bhaven naṣṭo vyādhayas tasya kiṃ punaḥ || 44 ||
2. When the ego of someone is destroyed, for him truly, the body becomes non-existent, what
   then of diseases for him?
   जलाग्निशस्त्रघातादिबाधा कस्य भविष्यति ।
   यथा यथा परिक्षीणा पुष्टा चाहङ्कृतिर्भवेत् ॥ ४५ ॥
   jalāgniśastraghātādibādhā kasya bhaviṣyati |
   yathā yathā parikṣīṇā puṣṭā cāhaṅkṛtir bhavet || 45 ||
3. For whom will there be troubles like those caused by water, fire, weapons, and such? As the
   actions of ego's pride are diminished, so¹ one is nourished and strengthened.
4. By yogic death (Samādhi).
   अभ्यासेनास्य नश्यन्ति प्रवर्तन्ते शमादयः ।
   कारणेन विना कार्यं न कदाचन विद्यते ॥ ४६ ॥
   abhyāsenāsya naśyanti pravartante śamādayaḥ |
   kāraṇena vinā kāryaṃ na kadācana vidyate || 46 ||
5. By practise, it, (the ego) is destroyed, peace and others¹ begin,
   without a cause, an effect never exists.
6. Other signs (siddhis).
   अहङ्कारं विना तद्वद् देहे दुःखं कथं भवेत् ॥ ४७ ॥
   ahaṅkāraṃ vinā tadvad dehe duḥkhaṃ kathaṃ bhavet || 47 ||
7. In that way, without ego, how can there be sorrow in the body?
