धृत्या यया धारयते मनःप्राणेन्द्रियक्रियाः | योगेनाव्यभिचारिण्या धृतिः सा पार्थ सात्त्विकी
dhṛtyā yayā dhārayate manaḥprāṇendriyakriyāḥ . yogenāvyabhicāriṇyā dhṛtiḥ sā pārtha sāttvikī
哦,波陀(Partha),那种通过不偏离的瑜伽(Yoga)而坚定不移,能控制心意、生命气息和感官功能的坚毅,被称为悦性(sattva)的坚毅。
O Partha, the firmness that is unfailing through concentration, with which one restrains the functions of the mind, vital forces and the organs, that firmness is born of sattva.
当坚毅在心中觉醒时,心意、生命气息和感官的活动就会受到控制。感官被收回到心意中。生命气息(Prana)和下行气(Apana)进入中脉(Sushumna Nadi)。瑜伽(Yoga):三摩地(Samadhi)或心意专注。你不能仅仅通过坚毅来控制心意、生命气息和感官。你只能通过始终伴随着心意专注的坚毅来控制它们。当心意、生命气息和感官被坚定不移的坚毅所抑制时,它们就无法奔向外在的感官对象,无法制造任何麻烦,无法以与经典相悖的方式行动;它们将被吸收到各自的因中,其外向的倾向将完全被遏制。这种坚毅不是压制或抑制,而是一种智能的升华和内在的转化。
When firmness is awakened in the mind? the activities of the mind? the lifeforce and the senses are brought under control. The senses are withdrawn into the mind. The Prana and the Apana pass into the Sushumna Nadi.Yoga Samadhi or concentration of the mind. You cannot restrain the mind? the lifeforce and the senses by mere firmness. You can control them only by firmness which is ever accompanied by concentration of the mind.When the mind? the lifeforce and the senses are curbed by unwarvering firmness? they cannot run towards external sensual objects? they cannot do any mischief? they cannot move in ways which are opposed to the scriptures? they will be absorbed into their respective causes and their outgoing tendencies will be totally checked.This firmness is not repression or suppression? but an intelligent sublimation and inner transformation.
