नास्ति बुद्धिरयुक्तस्य न चायुक्तस्य भावना | न चाभावयतः शान्तिरशान्तस्य कुतः सुखम्
nāsti buddhirayuktasya na cāyuktasya bhāvanā . na cābhāvayataḥ śāntiraśāntasya kutaḥ sukham
对于心意不稳者，没有智慧；对于心意不稳者，没有冥想。对于不冥想者，没有平静。没有平静的人，何来幸福？
For the unsteady there is no wisdom, and there is no meditation for the unsteady man. And for an unmeditative man there is no peace. How can there be happiness for one without peace?
无法专注于冥想的人，无法获得对神我的认知。心意不稳者无法进行冥想。他甚至无法对神我知识产生强烈的虔诚，也无法对解脱（莫克沙）产生炽热的渴望。不冥想的人无法拥有内心的平静。一个没有内心平静的人，如何能享受幸福？欲望（对感官对象的渴望）是平静的敌人。一个渴望感官对象的人，丝毫不会有幸福感。心意将永远不安，永远渴望着对象。只有当这种渴望消亡时，人才能享受平静。只有那时，他才能冥想并安住于神我之中。
The man who cannot fix his mind in meditation cannot have knowledge of the Self. The unsteady man cannot practise meditation. He cannot have even intense devotion to Selfknowledge nor can he have burning longing for liberation or Moksha. He who does not practise meditation cannot possess peace of mind. How can the man who has no peace of mind enjoy happinessDesire or Trishna (thirsting for senseobjects) is the enemy of peace. There cannot be an iota or tinge of happiness for a man who is thirsting for sensual objects. The mind will be ever restless? and will be hankering for the objects. Only when this thirsting dies? does man enjoy peace. Only then can he meditate and rest in the Self.
