Haṭha Pradīpikā 4.11*31
अशक्यतत्त्वबोधानां मूढानामपि संमतम् |
प्रोक्तं गोरक्षनाथेन नादोपासनमुच्यते ||11*31||
Metre: Anuṣṭubh
For those for whom knowledge of reality is impossible (aśakya-tattva-bodhānām | gen pl), and also (api) for the deluded (mūḍhānām | gen pl m ppp), the recognized (saṃmatam | nom acc sg n ppp) practice of Nāda (nāda-upāsanam | nom acc sg), taught (proktam | nom acc sg n ppp) by Gorakṣanātha (gorakṣa-nāthena | ins sg), is set forth (ucyate | 3p sg pas pres).
For those unable to realize Tattva, even for the deluded, the practice of Nāda taught by Gorakṣanātha is set forth.
Brahmānanda recommends absorption in Nāda especially for people who find direct philosophical insight difficult, because the inner sound provides an immediately perceptible point of support. He does not, however, restrict the method to the “unlearned”: precisely because it is perceptible, it is also suitable for scholars. He invokes Gorakṣa as his authority.
I will describe now the practice of anâhata nâda, as propounded by Gorakṣa Nâtha, for the benefit of those who are unable to understand the principles of knowledge—a method, which is liked by the ignorant also.
Selbst von den Ungebildeten, die der Erkenntniss der Wahrheit unfähig sind, wird das gebilligt, was Gorakshanatha gelehrt hat, und was Nâdopâsana genannt wird.
