एवं बुद्धेः परं बुद्ध्वा संस्तभ्यात्मानमात्मना | जहि शत्रुं महाबाहो कामरूपं दुरासदम्
evaṃ buddheḥ paraṃ buddhvā saṃstabhyātmānamātmanā . jahi śatruṃ mahābāho kāmarūpaṃ durāsadam
大臂者啊,如此了解那超越理智的真我,並藉由真我穩固自身,戰勝那慾望之形、難以制服的敵人吧!
[The Ast, introdcues this verse with, 'Tatah kim, what follows from that?'-Tr.] Understanding the Self thus [Understanding৷৷.thus:that desires can be conered through the knowledge of the Self.] as superior to the intellect, and completely establishing (the Self) is spiritual absorption with the (help of) the mind, O mighty-armed one, vanish the enemy in the form of desire, which is difficult to subdue.
藉由更高的「真我」來約束較低的自我,藉由更高的心意來制服較低的心意。慾望因其高度複雜和難以捉摸的本質而難以戰勝。然而,一個具有辨別力和無欲之人,若能持續並深入地進行靈性修持(Sadhana),便能輕易地戰勝它。慾望是「羅闍」(Rajas)的特質,若能增強內在的「薩埵」(Sattva)特質,便能戰勝慾望,因為「羅闍」無法在「薩埵」面前立足。儘管慾望難以戰勝,但並非不可能。最簡單直接的方法是透過祈禱和持咒(Japa)來懇求內在的神性(上帝)。至此,在榮耀的《薄伽梵歌》奧義書中,這部永恆的科學、瑜伽的經典、室利·奎師那與阿爾諸那的對話,第三篇題為《行動瑜伽》的論述結束。
Restrain the lower self by the higher Self. Subdue the lower mind by the higher mind. It is difficult to coner desire because it is of a highly complex and incomprehensible nature. But a man of discrimination and dispassion who does constant and intense Sadhana can coner it ite easily. Desire is the ality of Rajas. If you increase the Sattvic ality in you? you can coner desire. Rajas cannot stand before Sattva.Even though desire is hard to coner? it is not impossible. The simple and direct method is to appeal to the Indwelling Presence (God) through prayer and Japa.Thus in the Upanishads of the glorious Bhagavad Gita? the science of the Eternal? the scripture of Yoga? the dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjuna? ends the third discourse entitledThe Yoga of Action.
