Notes: Here, "having fallen from both" refers to a perceived failure not only in the pursuit of union, but also in the sphere of mundane pursuits. Self-centered ambition and endeavors fueled by desire — often the "accomplishing force" behind worldly success — will naturally wane while attending to the path of purification and unification. A certain "material failure" commonly ensues — even in absence of exclusive dedication to contemplative practice. Rare is the being who can transmute and sustain their entire former domain of activities in the face of this path of transformation and its imperatives. Does this path not hold the significant risk of categorical failure, a loss of footing in both the mundane and the existential, a total bewilderment?
