Yogadṛṣṭisamuccaya by Haribhadra Sūri
Chapter 5 – A Line of Demarcation between the first four and last four Yogadṛṣṭis [105 of 121]
Chapter 5.8 – Sarvajña (The Omniscience) [4 of 20]
In Ṣoḍaśaka, the reason for diversity in sermon, is given as follows.
hitamapi vāyoroṣadhamahitaṃ tat śleṣmaṇo yathā'tyantam |
saddharmadeśanauṣadhamovaṃ bālādyapekṣāmiti ||1.15||
The valuable treatise Yogasāraprābhṛta says following lines regarding different sermons of the omniscient. The verse is,
vicitrā deśanāstatra bhavyacittā'nurodhataḥ |
kurvanti sūrayo vaidyā yathāvyādhyanurodhataḥ ||8.94
It is a well–known fact that every omniscient adopts different ways to enlighten his disciples. The adoption of ways relies on disciples’ eligibility, their respective growth on the spiritual way, the diversity in periods of time and so on.
