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

सिद्धिभिः परिहीनं तु नरं बद्धं हि लक्षयेत् | अजरामरपिण्डो यो जीवन्मुक्तः स एव हि || १८३ || siddhibhiḥ parihīnaṁ tu naraṁ baddhaṁ hi lakṣayet | ajarāmarapiṇḍo yo jīvanmuktaḥ sa eva hi || 183 || 183. A person who is devoid of (spiritual) accomplishments should indeed be recognized as bound. He who has a body free from old age and death, is certainly a living liberated one (jīvanmukta). ये श्वकुक्कुटकीटाद्या मृतिं सम्प्राप्नुवन्ति ते | तेषां किं पिण्डपातेन मुक्तिर् भवति सुन्दरि || १८४ || ye śvakukkuṭakīṭādyā mṛtiṁ samprāpnuvanti te | teṣāṁ kiṁ piṇḍapātena muktir bhavati sundari || 184 || 184. Why would liberation be (achieved) by the offering¹ of piṇḍa² for they who obtain death similar to dogs, roosters, insects, etc., O beautiful goddess?

1. Offering the piṇḍa into the sacrificial flame or offering the piṇḍa to be swallowed by the mouth of a Sannyāsī.
2. A “solid ball (of matter).” न बहिः प्राण आयाति पिण्डस्य पतनं कुतः | पिण्डपातेन या मुक्तिः सा मुक्तिस् तु न कथ्यते || १८५ || na bahiḥ prāṇa āyāti piṇḍasya patanaṁ kutaḥ | piṇḍapātena yā muktiḥ sā muktis tu na kathyate || 185 ||
3. If the life-force does not go outside; how then does the body¹ fall? The liberation that comes by the offering of piṇḍa, that liberation is not considered true liberation.²
4. Piṇḍa, the solid mass of the ‘body’ made up of the three principles of caitanya (“consciousness”).
5. “True liberation.” By the sacrificial offering of piṇḍa into the mouth and fire, the yogic practise of अश्वमेधयज्ञ (aśvamedhayajña) “horse sacrifice” is inferred. See Śábda 49 of the Gorakh Bānī (The Sayings of Gorakṣanātha): चालत चंदवा षिसि षिसि पड़ै | chālat chaṁdvā ṣiṣi ṣiṣi paṛai | § 49(1). A strong stirring tremulous (up and down) motion, rising and falling in waves, surging, swelling, and overflowing with passionate desire which gives a footing to stand out above, establishing one ready to ride (firmly) mounted above (as if upon a horse)¹.
6. The rigid liṅga of energy protruding above the skull (liṅgāgatirmahāmudrā).
