然而,那自制之人,以摆脱爱憎、且受自我掌控的感官去感知对象时,便能获得宁静。
But by perceiving objects with the organs that are free from attraction and repulsion, and are under his own control, the self-controlled man attains serenity.
心意和感官天生具有爱与憎的两种倾向。因此,心意和感官会喜欢某些对象,厌恶另一些对象。但一个自律的人,在感官对象中游走时,其心意和感官已摆脱爱憎,并被神我所掌控,从而达到永恒的平静。感官和心意听从他的意志,因为自律的自我拥有非常强大的意志。自律的自我只摄取那些维持身体所必需的对象,不带任何爱憎。他绝不摄取经典所禁止的对象。在此诗节中,克里希那主回答了阿周那的第四个问题:一个智慧坚定之人如何行动?
The mind and the senses are naturally endowed with the two currents of attraction and repulsion. Therefore? the mind and the senses like certain objects and dislike certain other objects. But the disciplined man moves among senseobjects with the mind and the senses free from attraction and repulsion and mastered by the Self? attains to the peace of the Eternal. The senses and the mind obey his will? as the disciplined self has a very strong will. The disciplined self takes only those objects which are ite necessary for the maintenance of the body without any love or hatred. He never takes those objects which are forbidden by the scriptures.In this verse Lord Krishna gives the answer to Arjunas fourth estion? How does a sage of steady wisdom move about (Cf.III.7.19?25XVIII.9).
