Whoever is devoted to this holy path comes to the state of Siva. Contemplating on this, one should by every means strive for the supreme unity. Yogarajas commentary: Whoever devotedly pursues the path of self-realization in the manner described here in the Paramarthasara obtains the best results. There is no rule about who is fit to follow this superior path leading to liberation. Whoever is afflicted by the different kinds of pain arising from birth, death, and disease, and who is fully engaged with complete faith in spiritual discipline leading to the achievement of discriminatory wisdom, obtains Siva-hood in a single birth, in no time at all, after destroying all his worldly pains. As has been stated in the Sivadharmottara Purana: One should always search for the path whereby one attains liberation in this world in one birth, instead of being interested in obtaining liberation over many rebirths. Reflecting that “efforts made in this manner always yield results,” one should strive to obtain liberation by any possible means. If one is able to realize his Self without feeling any pride then he obtains the desired result. In not, and he dies before achieving the highest goal, he will reach the divine regions. Hence on should not feel proud while practicing yoga leading to the supreme goal. When an individual returns from the higher divine regions, he again renews his contact with the path of yoga as a result of his awakened memory of the yoga practices in his former birth. Thus the bestowing of beneficial fruits cannot cause any obstruction in his pursuit of the path of yoga.
