Educational Q&A
True worthiness for worldly authority or prosperity arises from inner purification and yogic perfection; when one is perfected, the means for righteous action (ritual supports and due fees) come without coercion, reflecting non-grasping and ethical integrity.
Chūlādhāra describes the state of a spiritually accomplished person: ritual necessities like the yūpa and the proper dakṣiṇā are said to present themselves naturally, and he concludes that only such a purified person is fit to ‘obtain the earth’—i.e., to hold rightful dominion or secure stable welfare.
