YOGADRSTISAMUCCAYA
total number of matter-praticles existing there in the universe are taken up one by one by a soul for the formation of its body etc., in lives after : lives while the period that is thus required to take up this totality is called 'one round of matter-reception' since beginipigless time but in the case of a particular soul there might come a time when the 'round of matter-reception' being experienced by it is the last such round. It is believed that a soul when undergoing the last round of matter. reception exhibits behaviour of a specially noble type, Haribhadra has this idea in mind when he says that the religious performances of a soul experiencing the last round of matter-reception are necessarily of a . . pure type.
उपादेयधियाऽत्यन्तं संज्ञाविष्कम्भणान्वितम् । फलाभिसन्धिरहितं संशुद्धं ह्येतदीदृशम् ॥२५॥ . upādeyadhiya'tgantañ samjñāviskambhamūnvitam / phalabhisandhirahitan sambuddham hy etad idrsam 1/25/1
The acts in question are pure when they are undertaken with a feeling that they are desirable, when they are accompanied by a total suppression of the spiritual demerits techically called sanjna, and when they are not accompanied by a deisre for some fruit (i.e. for some worldly fruit).
[25] The following ten defects of character are called sanjña. :.. anxiety for food (ähāra-saħjña), fear (bhaya-sañjna), sex-passion (maithuna. sañiña), attachment for the worldly possession (parigraha-sanjña), anger (krodha-sañjña), pride (māna-sañjña), deceitfulness (māyā-sañña), greed (lobha-sañña), mentality of the mob (ogha-sanjña), doing things just in order to please the common folk (loka-sanjña). .

These acts in their pure form (are a yoga-seed) also when they are undertaken in relation to the preceptor etc. who happen to be genuine yogins; moreover, humble services of every day kind offered duly and with a specially pure heart to these, preceptor etc. (equally. constitute yoga-seed).
