एवं बुद्धेः परं बुद्ध्वा संस्तभ्यात्मानमात्मना | जहि शत्रुं महाबाहो कामरूपं दुरासदम्
evaṃ buddheḥ paraṃ buddhvā saṃstabhyātmānamātmanā . jahi śatruṃ mahābāho kāmarūpaṃ durāsadam
因此,阿周那,你这臂力强大者,当知真我优于理智,并以真我完全驾驭自我,从而战胜那难以制服的、以欲望为形式的敌人。
[The Ast, introdcues this verse with, 'Tatah kim, what follows from that?'-Tr.] Understanding the Self thus [Understanding৷৷.thus:that desires can be conered through the knowledge of the Self.] as superior to the intellect, and completely establishing (the Self) is spiritual absorption with the (help of) the mind, O mighty-armed one, vanish the enemy in the form of desire, which is difficult to subdue.
以高我驾驭低我,以高阶心识制服低阶心识。欲望难以战胜,因为它性质极其复杂且难以捉摸。但一个具有辨别力和无欲者,若能持续精进地进行灵性修持(Sadhana),便能轻易战胜它。欲望是“惰性”(Rajas)的特质。若你提升内在的“悦性”(Sattva)特质,便能战胜欲望。“惰性”无法在“悦性”面前立足。尽管欲望难以战胜,但并非不可能。最简单直接的方法是通过祈祷和持咒(Japa)向内在的临在(神)求助。至此,在荣耀的《薄伽梵歌》奥义书、永恒的科学、瑜伽经典、室利·克里希那与阿周那的对话中,题为《行动瑜伽》的第三章结束。
Restrain the lower self by the higher Self. Subdue the lower mind by the higher mind. It is difficult to coner desire because it is of a highly complex and incomprehensible nature. But a man of discrimination and dispassion who does constant and intense Sadhana can coner it ite easily. Desire is the ality of Rajas. If you increase the Sattvic ality in you? you can coner desire. Rajas cannot stand before Sattva.Even though desire is hard to coner? it is not impossible. The simple and direct method is to appeal to the Indwelling Presence (God) through prayer and Japa.Thus in the Upanishads of the glorious Bhagavad Gita? the science of the Eternal? the scripture of Yoga? the dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjuna? ends the third discourse entitledThe Yoga of Action.
