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

चित्तं प्राणेन संनद्धं सर्वजीवेषु संस्थितम् ।
रज्जुर् यद्वत् परीबद्धा रज्जवा तद्वद् इदं मनः ॥ ७९ ॥
cittaṃ prāṇena saṃnaddhaṃ sarvajīveṣu saṃsthitam |
rajjur yadvat parībaddhā rajjvā tadvad idaṃ manaḥ || 79 ||
79. The mind bound with the breath, is established in all living beings,
just as a rope is bound (together) by (coiled) cords, so is this mind (bound by the breath¹).

1. The unknowing (who do not know how to practise prāṇāyāma) are bound by the breaths inability to raise and straighten
   the dormant procreative life-force energy (Kuṇḍalī Śakti) which remains coiled (and tethered) at the base of the spine. “Her
   sleep in the Mūlādhāra, is, therefore, for the bondage of the ignorant.” – Chapter I, Śāṇḍilya Upaniṣad.
   नाना विधैर् विचारैस् तु न साध्यं जायते मनः ।
   तस्मात् तस्य जयोपायः प्राण एव हि नान्यथा ॥ ८० ॥
   nānā vidhair vicārais tu na sādhyaṃ jāyate manaḥ |
   tasmāt tasya jayopāyaḥ prāṇa eva hi nānyathā || 80 ||
2. Control of the mind cannot be accomplished by various means of contemplation,
   therefore, the way to conquer it is indeed through breath alone, not otherwise.¹
3. One cannot conquer the mind with the mind (which is like a dog chasing its own tail), the trans-mental unmanī state,
   can only be achieved by control of the breaths (energy).
   तर्कैर् जल्पैः शास्त्रजालैर् युक्तिभिर् मन्त्रभेषजैः ।
   न वशो जायते प्राणः सिद्धोपायं विना प्रिये ॥ ८१ ॥
   tarkair jalpaiḥ śāstrajālair yuktibhir mantrabheṣajaiḥ |
   na vaśo jāyate prāṇaḥ siddhopāyaṃ vinā priye || 81 ||
4. By arguments, idle talk, (entangled in the) nets of scriptures, logic, mantras, and medicines,
   prāṇa does not come under control, without the method of the perfected, beloved.
   उपायं तस्य विज्ञाय योगमार्गो प्रवर्तते ।
   खण्डज्ञानेन तेनैव जायते क्लेशभाङ् नरः ॥ ८२ ॥
   upāyaṃ tasya vijñāya yogamārgo pravartate |
   khaṇḍajñānena tenaiva jāyate kleśabhāṅ naraḥ || 82 ||
5. Knowing the method of that, the path of Yoga proceeds.
   By fragmentary knowledge, man becomes afflicted, (suffering from the misery of delusion).
