चञ्चलं हि मनः कृष्ण प्रमाथि बलवद् दृढम् | तस्याहं निग्रहं मन्ये वायोरिव सुदुष्करम्
cañcalaṃ hi manaḥ kṛṣṇa pramāthi balavad dṛḍham . tasyāhaṃ nigrahaṃ manye vāyoriva suduṣkaram
因為,克里希那啊,心意是動盪不安、狂暴、強大且固執的。我認為要控制它,就像控制風一樣極其困難。
For, O Krsna, the mind is unsteady, turbulent, strong and obstinate. I consider its control to be as greatly difficult as of the wind.
心意不斷地改變其對象,因此它總是躁動不安。克里希那(Krishna)一詞源於「Krish」,意為刮除。他刮除信徒心中所有的罪惡、邪惡以及邪惡的根源。因此他被稱為克里希那。心意不僅躁動,而且狂暴、衝動、強大且固執。它在身體和感官中產生劇烈的騷動。心意被各方向的對象所吸引,它總是與五種感官協同運作,被它們吸引到五種對象。因此它總是躁動不安。它藉助這些感官和身體來享受五種感官對象,因此使它們受制於外部影響。控制它甚至比控制風還要困難。心意源於風微細元素(Vayutanmatra),這就是它像風一樣躁動的原因。
The mind constantly changes its objects and so it is ever restless.Krishna is derived from Krish which means to scrape. He scrapes all the sins? evils? and the causes of evil from the hearts of His devotees. Therefore He is called Krishna.The mind is not only restless but also turbulent or impetuous? strong and obstinate. It produces violent agitation in the body and the senses. The mind is drawn by the objects in all directions. It works always in conjunction with the five senses. It is drawn by them to the five kinds of objects. Therefore it is ever restless. It enjoys the five kinds of sensobjects with the help of these senses and the body. Therefore it makes them subject to external influences. It is even more difficult to control it than to control the wind. The mind is born of Vayutanmatra (wind rootelement). That is the reason why it is as restless as the wind.
