19. Krmi kita bhasma vishthaa, durgandhi mala mutrakam;
Shleshma raktam tva chaa maamsam, vañchayenna varaanane.
The Guru knows you inside and out. O Beautiful One, withhold no part of yourself from him, neither that which you think of as pure nor that which you think of as dark and foul - including the germs and worms of your body,

finally reduced to ashes.
20. Abhyastaih sakalaih sudir ghamanilair, vyaadhi pradair dushkaraih, pranaayaama shatair aneka karanair, duhkhaatmakair durjayaihi;

The most powerful yoga, O Noble One, is not the pranayama with its windy breathing exercises, nor hatha yoga with its challenging and difficult positions - rather, it is the Guru Yoga, the supreme yoga, which grants the spontaneous state, whereby the powerful prana becomes still of its own accord, without effort.
