Sri Sadgurubhyoh Namaha
19. Bhava-pratyayo videha prakriti layanam
If the seed of Karma is not removed, or if the impressions/samskara is latent as explained in previous sutra, that person will re-incarnate according to his karma or merge with his nature after death as what is called as krama mukti.

(The 20th sutra is shown as 19th in my previous posting, I apologise.)
21. Teevra samvegaanaam aasannaha
Yoga is attained very quickly by those who show the qualities shown in sutra 20.
22. Mridu madhya adhimatraatvattatopi vishesha
The end result of quality of samadhi varies by the means adopted (Mild, medium and intense) to achieve yoga.
23. Iswara Pranidaanaadva
Liberation happens through the Grace of Iswara.
Prabhu : Pranidhana means surrender not Grace.
24. Klesha karmavipakaashayair aparamrishtaha purusha vishesha iswaraha
Who is Iswara ?
The person who is untouched by Klesha(ignorance), Karma, Karma phala, Aasha(desire) and who is a special being is called Iswara.
Iswara is the universal witness consciousness also known as Shiva or Narayana. There is nothing higher than this. This is the final refuge. Known as God in theistic terminology.
25. Tatra Niratishaya sarvajnatvabijam
In that Iswara consciousness the quality of Sarvajnatva (Omniscience, knowing all, knowledge, wisdom) is Niratishaya (Unsurpassed, infinite). This omniscience is abijam (seedless, or non-causal).
26. Sa Purveshaamapi Guruhu Kaalenanavachchedaat
That Iswara is Guru to all, even to most ancient teachers. Iswara is beyond time and not limited by time. SriRamana Maharshi says 'time is a concept of mind'. It is superflous to say that Iswara who is beyond maya, is beyond time also.
27. Tasya vaachaka pranavaha
Pranava (AUM) is the proper noun of Iswara. All other names are pronouns.
Prabu's Comment : Vachaka means representation.
28. Tajjapastadartha bhaavanam
Meditation has to be done on meaning of AUM along with the repetetion of sound AUM.
The sound AUM is a very soothing sound. Scriptures say it is the primordial sound that created everything. I would say it is the sound that destroys ignorance. I prostrate to AUM.
Hari AUM
Prasad
