The stages, that is, the stages of Vajra recitation, should not even be shown by talking or discussing. The excellent disciple is: Whoever has respect and faith in the Lama, Always diligently strives to listen with respect, Able to grasp what is heard, the excellent Lama, There is no need to examine the Lama's grace. Thus it is said. A disciple who has faith in the Dharma and respect for the Lama who teaches it, listens respectfully to what he wants to hear, and strives diligently for its meaning, that is, has diligence, grasps what he hears, that is, is not satisfied with hearing and repeatedly makes hearing a habit, for such an excellent Lama, that is, an excellent Lama. The Lama's grace is to be accepted. There is no need to examine, that is, there is no need to examine, that is, there is no need to investigate, that is to be accepted immediately, this is an explanation that is not in accordance with the intention. Now, in order to clarify the nature of the greatness of the kindness of the Lama's presence. If one falls from the peak of the mountain king, Even if one does not want to fall, one will fall. Having obtained the benefit of the Lama's grace, Even if one does not want to be liberated, one will be liberated. Thus it is said. For example, if one's mind is distracted elsewhere and one's feet are unsteady, and one falls from the peak of the mountain king, that is, from the top of a high mountain, that is, slips. That person will fall, that is, slipping is the cause of death, even if one does not want to fall, because it is a high mountain, one will definitely fall. Similarly, by the grace of the Lama, that is, the benefit obtained by the Vajra master's blessing, that is, closely connected with the correct path and free from the Lama's stinginess, Through the instructions, that is, obtained through the oral instructions, even if one does not want to be liberated, even if it is destined, nevertheless one will be liberated, that is, he will obtain liberation. It is heard that such a thing is the nature of reality. The person who is accepted will be liberated at that time, therefore after that only his body remains, like the potter's wheel. Whenever the Lama, Completely shows non-discrimination, That time is the time of liberation, Only the body remains. Thus and so on it is also said. According to the literal meaning.
