A person with a desire, even when he enjoys those pleasures becomes more and more attached to lust. If he is without desire he enjoys pleasures in Rudra's abode and after a descent therefrom is reborn as a person engaged in Tapoyajfia. There is no doubt in this. An ascetic enjoys pleasures in Rudra's abode and after a fall therefrom is reborn in the world as a man devoted to Japa and Dhyana. Such a man devoted to Japa and Dhyana, thanks to heir excellence, attains knowledge ere long, and thereby attains Siva*s Sayujya. Hence he becomes a liberated soul even when he is devoted to Karmayajfia at the behest of Siva, if he is without desire. But a person with lust will always be in bondage. Hence one shall be devoted to Dhyana and Jfiana among the five Yajfias.

He who has meditation and knowledge crosses the ocean of worldly existence. Dhyanayajfia which is freedom from the defects of violence etc. is a pure mental process for salvation and is therefore the greatest means. Just as the persons working outside the palace are seen not enjoying much of the benefits within the royal palace so also the Karmins. To those who meditate, the subtle body of Ivara becomes visible. But to the Karmins, only the clay, wood etc. are visible. Hence those who are devoted to Dhya¬ nayajfia do not accept deities in the form of stone and day, since they know the reality of Siva.
