Devahūti’s Prayers, Kapila’s Departure, and Devahūti’s Liberation
Siddhapada
भक्तिप्रवाहयोगेन वैराग्येण बलीयसा । युक्तानुष्ठानजातेन ज्ञानेन ब्रह्महेतुना ॥ २४ ॥ विशुद्धेन तदात्मानमात्मना विश्वतोमुखम् । स्वानुभूत्या तिरोभूतमायागुणविशेषणम् ॥ २५ ॥
bhakti-pravāha-yogena vairāgyeṇa balīyasā yuktānuṣṭhāna-jātena jñānena brahma-hetunā
Sa yoga ng walang patid na agos ng bhakti, sa matibay na vairāgya, at sa kaalamang bunga ng wastong pagsasagawa—kaalamang umaakay sa Brahman—siya’y naging dalisay. Sa dalisay na diwa, lubos siyang lumubog sa pagninilay sa Kataas-taasang Persona na nakaharap sa lahat ng dako, at sa sariling tuwirang karanasan, naglaho ang lahat ng pag-aalinlangang dulot ng mga guṇa ng māyā.
This verse explains that through purified inner being and direct realization (svānubhūti), one perceives the Supreme as all-pervading and beyond the designations created by māyā and the guṇas.
Kapila instructs Devahūti in the path of liberation through devotion and realization—showing that true knowledge culminates in experiencing the Supreme Person as beyond material qualities.
Cultivate purity through steady devotion, disciplined living, and sincere contemplation; then spiritual truths shift from concepts to lived experience, weakening identification with temporary labels and moods.
