Brahmā’s Instruction on Elements and Faculties
यथावदध्यात्मविधिरेष व: कीर्तितो मया
yathāvad adhyātmavidhir eṣa vaḥ kīrtito mayā
«Selon l’ordre convenable, je vous ai maintenant exposé cette discipline du Soi intérieur (adhyātma), telle qu’elle doit être enseignée.»
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
That spiritual practice must be conveyed and followed “yathāvat”—in the correct, prescribed manner—emphasizing disciplined, methodical instruction in adhyātma (inner self-knowledge) rather than casual or improvised practice.
Vāyudeva concludes or rounds off a section of teaching by stating that he has properly expounded the adhyātma-vidhi to his listeners, marking a transition from instruction to its reception or subsequent action.
