FAQs
It affirms that when yoga is properly received from a realized teacher (here, Sanatkumāra) and mastered, the practitioner becomes established on the true path (gati-mārga) and gains unimpeded spiritual vision—symbolizing inner freedom and mastery over perception.
While the verse speaks in yogic terms, its implication supports bhakti-oriented moksha: guidance from an enlightened source and steadfastness on the right path purify the mind, enabling a devotee to perceive reality clearly and move toward liberation without obstruction.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is directly taught in this line; the practical takeaway is the śāstric principle of guru-upadeśa (authoritative instruction) as the method for correct practice and attainment in yoga.
