शनैः शनैरुपरमेद् बुद्ध्या धृतिगृहीतया | आत्मसंस्थं मनः कृत्वा न किञ्चिदपि चिन्तयेत्
śanaiḥ śanairuparamed buddhyā dhṛtigṛhītayā . ātmasaṃsthaṃ manaḥ kṛtvā na kiñcidapi cintayet
应以坚定不移的理智,逐渐达到宁静。将心安住于自我(ātman)之中,不思虑任何事物。
One should gradually withdraw with the intellect endowed with steadiness. Making the mind fixed in the Self, one should not think of anything whatsoever.
瑜伽(yoga)的修行者应该通过被坚定性所控制的理智,逐渐或循序渐进地达到宁静。永恒的平静将通过持续而长期的稳定专注练习,逐渐以颤栗和至福充满内心。他应该通过不间断的练习,使心智持续安住于内在的自我(ātman)中。如果一个人持续思考内在不朽的自我,心智就会停止思考感官享乐的对象。心智能量应该通过对自我(ātman)的持续沉思(Atmachintana),沿着灵性通道引导。
The practitioner of Yoga should attain tranillity gradually or by degrees? by,means of the intellect controlled by steadiness. The peace of the Eternal will fill the heart gradually with thrill and bliss through the constant and protracted practice of steady conentration. He should make the mind constantly abide in the Self within through ceaseless practice. If anyone constantly thinks of the immortal Self within? the mind will cease to think of the objects of sensepleasure. The mental energy should be directed along the spiritual channel by Atmachintana or constant contemplation on the Self.
