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.
