for imparting and spreading religious instructions to all beings for their spiritual rise.
The above five factors are an unfailing proof of the spiritual progress.
Thus equipped with high sentiments of the universal love, fleeting nature of Samsara, the working of the inexorable law of Karma and short duration of relationship the aspirant after practices of Yoga advances further on the spiritual path.
The following types of Dhyana-Yoga are with reference to the objects to be contemplated: Arta Raudra, Dharana and Shukla. Their subdivisions are explained in notes on Dhyana in Chapter III. For details standard works as Yoga-Shastra, Jnānārṇava Yogadrashti Samucchaya and Jaindrashtiyoga(Gujarati) may be usefully referred to.
If the practice of Yoga is carried on with righteous conduct, exalted renunciation, unbroken continuance, scrupulous care and attention and discriminating and vigilauce, the aspirant after Moksha is sure to achieve success in reaching the final goal.
Success to be achieved is in the inverse ratio of the mind wandering in wrong direction in the form of temptations, lusts, passions, desires, &c.. A successful Yogi, if allured by Siddhis (powers), misapplies them, he is sure to fall down. The aspirant must clearly understand the ideal which he wishes to realise in his own Self. So it is highly essential to work with scrupulous care in the spiritual realm.
