sa tu taddhyānasaṃvṛddho jīvo bhavati tādṛśaḥ | anyayonyudbhavo vāpi tathā nidarśanaṃ satām
Makhluk hidup itu, yang dibesarkan oleh meditasi itu sendiri, menjadi serupa sifatnya; bahkan kemunculan satu bentuk daripada bentuk yang lain pun dijadikan oleh orang bijaksana sebagai perumpamaan bagi prinsip ini.

FAQs

The teaching supports the Prabhāsakṣetra pilgrimage ethos by stressing inner practice; no distinct tīrtha is newly named.
Maintain unwavering dhyāna; let contemplation be continuous so it can ‘nourish’ the intended spiritual state.
