It is said sharply, and, I think, truly: without what is obtained from a teacher, a man klishyate, "suffers," and there will be no attainment. The word klish means "to torment, to languish, to suffer"; from it comes klesha, "affliction," by which yogic books name the five root troubles. Worth noting is that it says not "will not attain," but precisely "will suffer." That is, the warning is not of futility, but of harm: one who acts without instruction not merely gets nothing — he will be tormented.
This warning, in a book about bodily techniques, is a warning of substance and deserves trust. Everything described in this chapter acts on the body; and what is done at random acts at random. The Vaishnava side describes something else with the same word too, and it is worth citing. The Bhagavatam speaks of one who performs his duties and does not come to hearing about Him: his labor is shrama eva hi kevalam, "labor alone" (1.2.8). There the matter is not harm but futility; but the word is drawn from the same family.
Separately, a word must be said about sudha-mayi, "consisting of nectar." Sudha is the drink of immortality; and the science is called made of it. This turn is usual in such books and means that the subject is sweet, not merely useful; and that taste decides more than compulsion was discussed when reading the first chapter (1.73).
