विषया विनिवर्तन्ते निराहारस्य देहिनः | रसवर्जं रसोऽप्यस्य परं दृष्ट्वा निवर्तते
viṣayā vinivartante nirāhārasya dehinaḥ . rasavarjaṃ raso.apyasya paraṃ dṛṣṭvā nivartate
感官對象會從禁慾者身邊退去，但對它們的「味」（rasa，即執著或喜好）卻依然存在。然而，當一個人證悟了至高實相（Absolute）後，連這種「味」也會隨之消逝。
The objects recede from an abstinent man, with the exception of the taste (for them). Even the taste of this person falls away after realization the Absolute.
唯有對自性（真我）的知識，才能徹底摧毀微細的習氣（Vasanas）、所有微細的慾望、所有微細的執著，甚至對對象的渴望。透過嚴格的苦行，捨棄感官對象，感官對象或許會從苦行者身邊退去，但對這些對象的「味」或渴望仍會存在。
Knowledge of the Self alone can destroy in toto the subtle Vasanas (latent tendencies) and all the subtle desires? all subtle attachments and even the longing for objects. By practising severe austerities? by abandoning the sensual objects? the objects of the senses may turn away from the ascetic but the relish or taste or longing for the objects will still remain.
