इन्द्रियाणां हि चरतां यन्मनोऽनुविधीयते | तदस्य हरति प्रज्ञां वायुर्नावमिवाम्भसि
indriyāṇāṃ hi caratāṃ yanmano.anuvidhīyate . tadasya harati prajñāṃ vāyurnāvamivāmbhasi
因为，追随游荡感官的心意，会卷走他的辨别力，如同风在水上吹走船只一般。
For, the mind which follows in the wake of the wandering senses, that (mind) carries away his wisdom like the mind (diverting) a boat on the waters.
那不断沉溺于感官对象并与感官为伍的心意，会彻底摧毁一个人的辨别力。正如风将船只吹离航线，心意也会将求道者带离其灵性道路，并使其转向感官对象。
The mind which constantly dwells on the sensual objects and moves in company with the senses destroys altogether the discrimination of the man. Just as the wind carries away a boat from its course? so also the mind carries away the aspirant from his spiritual path and turns,him towards the objects of the senses.
