यथा दीपो निवातस्थो नेङ्गते सोपमा स्मृता | योगिनो यतचित्तस्य युञ्जतो योगमात्मनः
yathā dīpo nivātastho neṅgate sopamā smṛtā . yogino yatacittasya yuñjato yogamātmanaḥ
正如置于无风处的灯火不会摇曳,这被认为是瑜伽士(yogin)的譬喻,其心已受控制,并专注于自我(ātman)的冥想。
As a lamp kept in a windless place does not flicker, such is the simile thought of for the yogi whose mind is under control, and who is engaged in concentration on the Self.
这是一个美丽的譬喻。瑜伽行者在谈论专注、稳定或心智的专一性时,经常引用这个譬喻。一颗稳定的心将成为强大的探照灯,以发现自我(ātman)隐藏的精神宝藏。
This is a beautiful simile. Yogins ote this simile very often when they talk of concentration or steadiness or onepointedness of the mind. A steady mind will serve as a powerful searchlight to find out the hidden spiritual treasures of the Self.
