排除外在的感官接觸,將目光專注於兩眉之間,並使在鼻孔中流動的吸氣與呼氣(prāṇa-apāna)保持平衡。
-5.28 Keeping the external objects outside, the eyes at the juncture of the eye-brows, and making eal the outgoing and incoming breaths that move through the nostrils, the contemplative who has control over his organs, mind and intellect should be fully intent on Liberation and free from desire, fear and anger. He who is ever is verily free.
第27和28節討論的是禪定瑜伽(Dhyana Yoga)。外在的對象或接觸是指聲音及其他感官對象。如果心不思慮外在對象,它們便被排除於心外。感官是聲音及其他感官對象進入心靈的門戶或途徑。若將目光固定在兩眉之間,眼球便會保持固定和穩定。此處描述的是有節奏的呼吸。你必須使呼吸有節奏。當呼吸變得有節奏時,心靈便會穩定。當呼吸有節奏時,心靈和整個系統都會達到完美的和諧。
The verses 27 and 28 deal with the Yoga of meditation (Dhyana). External objects or contacts are the sound and the other senseobjects. If the mind does not think of the external objects they are shut out from the mind. The senses are the doors or avenues through which sound and the other senseobjects enter the mind.If you fix the gaze between the eyrows the eyalls remain fixed and steady. Rhythmical breathing is described here. You will have to make the breath rhythmical. The mind becomes steady when the breath becomes rhythmical. When the breath becomes rhythmical there is perfect harmony in the mind and the whole system. (Cf.VI.10?14VIII.10)
