योगबीज (गुरु गोरखनाथ परम्परा - महायोग, प्राण-अपान एकत्व एवं कैवल्य-सिद्धि सटीक)

तद् तद् एव भवेज् जीव इत्येवं जन्मकारणम् ॥ ४० ॥ dehāvasānasamaye citte yad yad vibhāvayed | tat tad eva bhavej jīva ity evaṃ janmakāraṇam || 40 || 40. At the time of the end of the body, whatever the mind imagines, that itself becomes the being, thus is the cause of re-birth (into this world).¹

1. Because, that which is envisaged by the mind in the causal realm, manifests in the physical world. देहान्ते किं भवेज् जन्म तन् न जानन्ति मानवाः । तस्मज्ज्ञानं न वैराग्यं जपः स्यात् केवलः श्रमः ॥ ४१ ॥ dehānte kiṃ bhavej janma tan na jānanti mānavāḥ | tasmaj jñānaṃ na vairāgyaṃ japaḥ syāt kevalaḥ śramaḥ || 41 ||
2. What kind of re-birth will be at the end of the body, men do not know, therefore, without (the) knowledge¹ and dispassion², chanting³ would be merely a wasted effort.
3. Direct knowledge by illumination in yoga (gnosis) within the shining womb of all creation (hiraṇyagarbha).
4. An undisturbed state of mind (indifferent and detached from the physical world in the unmanī state).
5. Chanting the mantra of the breath 'haṃsa.' पिपीलिका यदा लग्ना देहे ध्यानाद् विमुच्यते । असौ किं वृश्चिकैर् दष्टो देहान्ते वा कथं सुखी ॥ ४२ ॥ pipīlikā yadā lagnā dehe dhyānād vimucyate | asau kiṃ vṛścikair daṣṭo dehānte vā kathaṃ sukhī || 42 ||
6. When an ant clings to the body, he is released from meditation, what then if stung by scorpions¹, at the death of the body, how can he be happy?
7. The sting in the tail of a scorpion has a double meaning: There is no happiness in physical death (and reincarnation) caused by the scorpions' stings venom (the poison of time). The yogic death, by Kuṇḍalī (the crooked one) raising the scorpions' tail (to strike) by uncoiling and moving up the channel of the Suṣumṇā, the rigid liṅgam of energy protruding above the skull (the sting) expelling (its deadly venom) abhiṣeka (releasing the poison of time). The yogi having experienced yogic death (in the breathless state) becomes free from the cycle of death and rebirth, and in the truth of this knowledge (free of the poison of time), becomes happy. Mūla (मूल) refers to the “root” of a tree, this being the ‘cauda equina’ located at the base of the spine. Mūla also represents Scorpius, the 19th Lunar Mansion, which is the sting at the end of Scorpio's tail. तस्मान् मूढाः न जानन्ति मिथ्या तर्केण वेष्टिताः ॥ ४३ ॥
