नास्ति बुद्धिरयुक्तस्य न चायुक्तस्य भावना । न चाभावयतः शान्तिरशान्तस्य कुतः सुखम्॥६-२४-६६॥
For one who is not integrated in discipline, there is no discernment; for one not integrated, there is no contemplative cultivation; for one who does not cultivate, there is no peace; and for one without peace, how can there be well-being?
english translation
इन्द्रियाणां हि चरतां यन्मनोऽनुविधीयते । तदस्य हरति प्रज्ञां वायुर्नावमिवाम्भसि॥६-२४-६७॥
When the mind follows the roaming senses, it carries away a person’s discernment—like the wind carrying a boat on the water.
english translation
तस्माद्यस्य महाबाहो निगृहीतानि सर्वशः । इन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थेभ्यस्तस्य प्रज्ञा प्रतिष्ठिता॥६-२४-६८॥
Therefore, O mighty-armed one, the person whose senses are fully restrained from their objects—his discernment is firmly established.
english translation
या निशा सर्वभूतानां तस्यां जागर्ति संयमी । यस्यां जाग्रति भूतानि सा निशा पश्यतो मुनेः॥६-२४-६९॥
That which is night for all beings, in that the self-restrained person is awake; and that in which beings are awake, that is night for the seeing sage.
english translation
आपूर्यमाणमचलप्रतिष्ठं समुद्रमापः प्रविशन्ति यद्वत् । तद्वत्कामा यं प्रविशन्ति सर्वे स शान्तिमाप्नोति न कामकामी॥६-२४-७०॥
As waters enter the ocean—ever being filled yet remaining steady and unmoved—so all desires enter the one who is established in inner stability. Such a person attains peace, not the one who pursues desires as an end in itself.
