TRANSLATION The endeavoring
transcendentalist, who is situated in self-realization, can see all this
clearly. But those who are not situated in self-realization cannot see
what is taking place, though they may try to.
PURPORT There are many
transcendentalists in the path of spiritual self-realization, but one who
is not situated in self-realization cannot see how things are changing
in the body of the living entity. The word yoginah is significant
in this connection. In the present day there are many so-called yogis,
and there are many so-called associations of yogis, but they are
actually blind in the matter of self-realization. They are simply addicted
to some sort of gymnastic exercise and are satisfied if the body is well-built
and healthy. They have no other information. They are called yatanto
'py akrtatmanah. Even though they are endeavoring in a so-called yoga
system, they are not self-realized. Such people cannot understand the process
of the transmigration of the soul. Only those who are actually in the yoga
system and have realized the self, the world, and the Supreme Lord, in
other words, the bhakti-yogis, those engaged in pure devotional
service in Krsna consciousness, can understand how things are taking place.
