Chapter 18
Mokshasanyaasa Yoga
67. This will not be spoken by you to one who is not austere in life or who has no devotion towards Me or to one who speaks ill of Me.
Tatparya Nirnaya :- Not to be spoken who is not austere, to the one who is not devoted and is not obedient to the Teacher. Therefore, the affix cha is added. Similarly to one who has no devotion or commitment should this ever be spoken. However. if one is less austere or performs less service to the teacher, this may be spoken, if he has scope for more devotion or commitment in him. This is only to affirm that in the absence of devotion, this should never be spoken that the word kadaachana has been used. Similarly, in order to emphasize the nondisclosure to one who bears grudges towards the Lord, the word cha has been used. As conjunction as well as absence, the word 'cha' has been used. Thus in Shabda Nimaya. „Since the one who bears ill-will or always finds faults, is more evil than the one who is not devoted‟, thus in Padma Puraana.
