विषया विनिवर्तन्ते निराहारस्य देहिनः | रसवर्जं रसोऽप्यस्य परं दृष्ट्वा निवर्तते

感官对象会从禁食者(nirāhāra)那里消退,但对它们的“味”(rasa)却依然存在。即使是这种“味”,当他见到至高真理(param)后,也会消退。
The objects recede from an abstinent man, with the exception of the taste (for them). Even the taste of this person falls away after realization the Absolute.
唯有真我的知识才能彻底摧毁微妙的习气(Vasanas)和所有微妙的欲望、所有微妙的执着,甚至是对对象的渴望。通过严格的苦行,通过放弃感官对象,感官对象可能会远离苦行者,但对对象的“味”(rasa)或渴望仍会存在。
Knowledge of the Self alone can destroy in toto the subtle Vasanas (latent tendencies) and all the subtle desires? all subtle attachments and even the longing for objects. By practising severe austerities? by abandoning the sensual objects? the objects of the senses may turn away from the ascetic but the relish or taste or longing for the objects will still remain.
