Gorakhnath and the Kanphata Yogis c7.40

c7.40

The *Śiva Saṃhitā* allows success to householders. The last three verses of that work read: Therefore the Yoga should be performed by master Yogīs according to the prescribed rules. He who is satisfied with whatever he receives, self-controlled and unattached (to household affairs), even though he be an householder, is released through the practice of Yoga. Success for the masterful householders, who are attached to the practices of the Yoga, must arise by means of *japa*. Therefore, let the householder exert himself. Established in the house, with ample household, having renounced attachment and engaged in Yoga practice secretly, the householder sees (increasingly) the wonderful marks of success, and, having carried out my instructions, should enjoy (bliss).
