Finally, Śiva imparts to king Jīva the teaching: "Do not cease striving after the supreme enlightenment which bestows release from the bondage of the round-of-rebirths; yet, at the same time, honor the wisdom of perfect worldly life and follow it. In giving to each sphere, the secular and the spiritual, its due share, you will achieve both perfect enjoyment of earthly delights and final release. For only in so far as the city of the organism is maintained and firmly defended, can Yoga unfold its magic power to the fullest degree conducive to the plenitude of transcendental bliss."
