अथवा योगिनामेव कुले भवति धीमताम्। एतद्धि दुर्लभतरं लोके जन्म यदीदृशम्॥
athavā yoginām eva kule bhavati dhīmatām etad dhi durlabhataraṁ loke janma yad īdṛiśham
Meaning
Or one may be born into a family of wise yogis. Indeed, such a birth is very rare in this world.
An even better scenario: the advanced seeker may be born directly into a family of realized yogis. This is extremely rare because it requires both accumulated merit and divine grace. Such a birth provides spiritual teaching and environment from infancy. Nothing is wasted — even 'failures' lead to greater opportunities.
Strength Reflection
"I appreciate the spiritual advantages I've been given, knowing they may be the fruit of past practice."
Devotional Surrender
O Lord, if I've found the path, perhaps it's Your grace from past seeking. I am grateful.
