YOGABINDU
Worship of the elders etc. is to be considered not so much profitable as pon-antipatby towards mokşa, for the latter utterly eliminates the great obstructire factor called worldly existence (while the former eliminates the rather minor obstructive factors of that type).
The Improper Ethico-Religious Performances (of Three Types) and the Proper Ones (of Two Types):
भवामिप्वाभावेन तथाऽनाभोगयोगतः । साध्वनुष्ठानमेवाहुनॆतान् भेदान् विपश्चितः ॥१५०॥ bhavābhisvangabhācena tathā'nabhogayogalah 1
sādhvanusthānam evāhur naitán bhedān vipaścitaḥ ||150|| Several types of ethico-religious performances (to be described just , below) are treated by the wise men as not proper such performances, and that because they are vitiated by an attachment for the worldly existence and by a lack of perseverance.
इहामुत्रफलापेक्षा भवामिप्वङ्ग उच्यते । तथाऽनध्यवसायस्तु स्यादनाभोग इत्यपि ॥१५॥ ihamutra phalapeksā bhavāblisdanga ucyate |
tathā'nadhyavasāgas tu sjād anābhoga ily api 1/151|| By "attachment for the worldly existence is to be meant a desire for enjoyment here and hereafter-enjoyment for which the right has been earned through one's own acts, by 'lack of perseverance' is to be meant a failure to endeavour.
एतद्युक्तमनुष्ठानमन्यावर्तेषु तद्धृवम् । चरमे त्वन्यथा ज्ञेयं सहजाल्पमलत्वतः ॥१५२।। etadyuktam anuşthānam anyāvarleşu taddhruvam /
carame to anyathā jñezań sahajālpamalatvataḥ 11152|| In the pudgalavartas earlier than the last one a man's ethico-religious performances are invariably accompanied by these (i. e. by 'attachment for the worldly existence' and 'lack of perseverance'); but otherwise is the case with the last pudgalāvarla that is the time by which the concerned soul's natural defilement (i.e. its capacity for attractivg karmic matter): has been rendered meagre.
एकमेव ह्यनुष्टानं कर्तृभेदेन भिद्यते । सरुजेतरभेदेन भोजनादिगतं यथा ॥१५३॥ ckam eva hy anusthānañ kartsbhedena Dhidrate / sarujetarabhedena bhojanādigalan yatha ||153|| .
