"
According to Siva a man acquires Nirvana when his breathing becomes
internal and does not come out of the nostrils. When the breathing
becomes internal--that is, when it is contained within the nostrils, the
Yogi is free from fainting, hunger, thirst, languor, disease and death.
He becomes a divine being, he feels not when he is brought into contact
with fire; no air can dry him, no water can putrefy him, no poisonous
serpent can inflict a mortal wound. His body exhales fragrant odours,
and can bear the abstinence from air, food, and drink.
When the breathing becomes internal, the Yogi is incapable of committing
any sin in deed, thought, and speech, and thereby inherits the Kingdom
of Heaven, which is open to sinless souls.
