    How to follow Yogic Knowledge [2 of 2]

    Now Haribhadrasūri defines the path which the great ones have lived in their life.

    It is as follows:

    (1) On one side the subject in question should scrupulously avoid inflicting even the slightest pain on others. On the other side he should always strive to be helpful to others.

    (2) Parents, preceptors, deities, brahmins, the mendicants/renouncers and the doers of austerities ought to be honoured with the heart/mind which has high regard for their commands.

    (3) One should have (distant) compassion for highly sinful persons who are greatly inflicted by their own misdeeds. Such a righteous behaviour is conducive to attainment of true religion. Therefore the righteous behaviour is considered to be the highest religion.
