इन्द्रियाणां हि चरतां यन्मनोऽनुविधीयते | तदस्य हरति प्रज्ञां वायुर्नावमिवाम्भसि
indriyāṇāṃ hi caratāṃ yanmano.anuvidhīyate . tadasya harati prajñāṃ vāyurnāvamivāmbhasi
因為，心若追隨遊走不定的感官，那心便會奪走他的智慧，如同風在水上吹走船隻一般。
For, the mind which follows in the wake of the wandering senses, that (mind) carries away his wisdom like the mind (diverting) a boat on the waters.
心若不斷沉溺於感官對象，並與感官為伍，便會完全摧毀一個人的辨別力。正如風將船隻吹離航道，心靈也同樣會將尋道者從其靈性道路上帶走，並使其轉向感官對象。
The mind which constantly dwells on the sensual objects and moves in company with the senses destroys altogether the discrimination of the man. Just as the wind carries away a boat from its course? so also the mind carries away the aspirant from his spiritual path and turns,him towards the objects of the senses.
