इन्द्रियाणां हि चरतां यन्मनोऽनुविधीयते | तदस्य हरति प्रज्ञां वायुर्नावमिवाम्भसि
indriyāṇāṃ hi caratāṃ yanmano.anuvidhīyate . tadasya harati prajñāṃ vāyurnāvamivāmbhasi
なぜなら、さまよう感官に従う心は、水上の船を風が押し流すように、その者の智慧(プラジュニャー)を奪い去るからである。
For, the mind which follows in the wake of the wandering senses, that (mind) carries away his wisdom like the mind (diverting) a boat on the waters.
感覚対象に絶えずとらわれ、感官と共に行動する心は、人の識別力を完全に破壊します。ちょうど風が船をその進路から押し流すように、心もまた求道者をその精神的な道から引き離し、感覚の対象へと向かわせるのです。
The mind which constantly dwells on the sensual objects and moves in company with the senses destroys altogether the discrimination of the man. Just as the wind carries away a boat from its course? so also the mind carries away the aspirant from his spiritual path and turns,him towards the objects of the senses.
