排除外在的感官对象,目光专注于两眉之间,并使在鼻孔中流动的出入息(prāṇa-apāna)保持平衡。
-5.28 Keeping the external objects outside, the eyes at the juncture of the eye-brows, and making eal the outgoing and incoming breaths that move through the nostrils, the contemplative who has control over his organs, mind and intellect should be fully intent on Liberation and free from desire, fear and anger. He who is ever is verily free.
第27和28节经文探讨的是冥想瑜伽(Dhyana Yoga)。外在的感官对象或接触是指声音及其他感官客体。如果心不思虑外在对象,它们便被排除于心外。感官是声音及其他感官客体进入心灵的门户。若将目光固定在眉间,眼球便会保持固定和稳定。此处描述了有节奏的呼吸。你需要使呼吸变得有节奏。当呼吸变得有节奏时,心便会变得稳定。当呼吸有节奏时,心智和整个系统都会达到完美的和谐。
The verses 27 and 28 deal with the Yoga of meditation (Dhyana). External objects or contacts are the sound and the other senseobjects. If the mind does not think of the external objects they are shut out from the mind. The senses are the doors or avenues through which sound and the other senseobjects enter the mind.If you fix the gaze between the eyrows the eyalls remain fixed and steady. Rhythmical breathing is described here. You will have to make the breath rhythmical. The mind becomes steady when the breath becomes rhythmical. When the breath becomes rhythmical there is perfect harmony in the mind and the whole system. (Cf.VI.10?14VIII.10)
