Blood flows in the female genitals every month. How can living beings who are forms of Nature [e.g., prakṛtimūrti—mūrtiḥ prakṛtiḥ] be born from just the semen that comes from the father without that? In the same way, one should not reveal this Sequence of Twenty-eight to one who is devoid of a line of teachers, initiation, the hereafter, lineage and transmission of the teachers”.
