क्योंकि शुक्ल और कृष्ण -- ये दोनों गतियाँ अनादिकालसे जगत्-(प्राणिमात्र-) के साथ सम्बन्ध रखनेवाली मानी गई हैं। इनमेंसे एक गतिमें जानेवालेको लौटना नहीं पड़ता और दूसरी गतिमें जानेवालेको लौटना पड़ता है।

क्योंकि शुक्ल और कृष्ण -- ये दोनों गतियाँ अनादिकालसे जगत्-(प्राणिमात्र-) के साथ सम्बन्ध रखनेवाली मानी गई हैं। धीमी और लंबी श्वास वेगस तंत्रिका को सक्रिय कर हृदय की गति और भय-प्रतिक्रिया को शांत करती है। यह पंक्ति उसी श्वास-मन संबंध को कहती है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
