आपूर्यमाणमचलप्रतिष्ठं समुद्रमापः प्रविशन्ति यद्वत् | तद्वत्कामा यं प्रविशन्ति सर्वे स शान्तिमाप्नोति न कामकामी

猶如水流注入盈滿而穩固不動之大海,一切慾望流入其心者,他便能獲得平靜,而非渴求慾望之人。
That man attains peace into whom all desires enter in the same way as the waters flow into a sea that remains unchanged (even) when being filled up from all sides. Not so one who is desirous of objects.
正如大海從四面八方注入水流卻依然不動,同樣地,安住於其自性(斯瓦魯帕)或真我中的聖者,即使各種慾望從四面八方湧入,也絲毫不受影響。聖者獲得平靜或解脫,但那些渴望感官享樂對象並懷有各種慾望的人則不能。
Just as the ocean filled with waters from all sides remains unmoved? so also the sage who is resting in his own Svarupa or the Self is not a bit affected though desires of all sorts enter from all sides. The sage attains peace or liberation but not he who longs for objects of sensual enjoyment and entertains various desires. (Cf.XVIII.53?54).
