एवं बुद्धेः परं बुद्ध्वा संस्तभ्यात्मानमात्मना | जहि शत्रुं महाबाहो कामरूपं दुरासदम्
evaṃ buddheḥ paraṃ buddhvā saṃstabhyātmānamātmanā . jahi śatruṃ mahābāho kāmarūpaṃ durāsadam
このように、知性(ブッディ)よりも優れているアートマン(真我)を理解し、アートマンによって(下位の)自己を完全に制御しなさい。おお、強腕の者よ、打ち破りがたいカーマ(欲望)という敵を滅ぼしなさい。
[The Ast, introdcues this verse with, 'Tatah kim, what follows from that?'-Tr.] Understanding the Self thus [Understanding৷৷.thus:that desires can be conered through the knowledge of the Self.] as superior to the intellect, and completely establishing (the Self) is spiritual absorption with the (help of) the mind, O mighty-armed one, vanish the enemy in the form of desire, which is difficult to subdue.
下位の自己を上位の自己によって抑制し、下位の心を上位の心によって制圧しなさい。カーマ(欲望)は非常に複雑で理解しがたい性質を持つため、征服することは困難です。しかし、識別力と無執着心を持ち、絶え間なく真剣なサダナ(修行)を行う者は、比較的容易にそれを克服できます。カーマはラジャス(活動性)の性質です。サットヴァ(純粋性)の性質を高めれば、カーマを征服できます。ラジャスはサットヴァの前には立ちません。カーマは征服しがたいとはいえ、不可能ではありません。最も単純で直接的な方法は、祈りやジャパ(マントラ詠唱)を通して内在する存在(神)に訴えかけることです。
Restrain the lower self by the higher Self. Subdue the lower mind by the higher mind. It is difficult to coner desire because it is of a highly complex and incomprehensible nature. But a man of discrimination and dispassion who does constant and intense Sadhana can coner it ite easily. Desire is the ality of Rajas. If you increase the Sattvic ality in you? you can coner desire. Rajas cannot stand before Sattva.Even though desire is hard to coner? it is not impossible. The simple and direct method is to appeal to the Indwelling Presence (God) through prayer and Japa.Thus in the Upanishads of the glorious Bhagavad Gita? the science of the Eternal? the scripture of Yoga? the dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjuna? ends the third discourse entitledThe Yoga of Action.
