mystic yoga, which can loosen the knots of material attachment in the heart.

The son of Vajranābha was Sagaṇa, and his son was Vidhṛti. The son of Vidhṛti was Hiraṇyanābha, who became a disciple of Jaimini and became a great ācārya of mystic yoga. It is from Hiraṇyanābha that the great saint Yājñavalkya learned the highly elevated system of mystic yoga known as ādhyātma-yoga, which can loosen the knots of material attachment in the heart.

Translation

The son of Vajranābha was Sagaṇa, and his son was Vidhṛti. The son of Vidhṛti was Hiraṇyanābha, who became a disciple of Jaimini and became a great ācārya of yoga. It is from Hiraṇyanābha that the sage Yājñavalkya learned the elevated system of adhyātma-yoga, which cuts the knot in the heart. Hiraṇyanābha was the disciple of Jaimini and became an authority on yoga. From him (yataḥ) intelligent Yājñavalkya learned ādhyātma-yoga.

Personal Guidance

From Hiraṇyanābha, Yājṣavalkya learned ādhyātma-yoga that loosens the heart's knots. Discipleship lines preserve techniques that no amount of self-study can recover — knowledge moves person to person.

Reflection Questions

What specific technique in my practice did I receive directly from a teacher and treasure?
Where might I be trying to invent what is already preserved in a transmission I have not sought?
