चलानि हीमानि षडिन्द्रियाणि तेषां यद्यद्वर्तते यत्र यत्र । ततस्ततः स्रवते बुद्धिरस्य छिद्रोदकुम्भादिव नित्यमम्भः॥५-३६-४६॥
The six senses are indeed restless and powerful; wherever and however they operate, from there and there a person’s discernment continually leaks away—like water from a pot riddled with holes.
english translation
धृतराष्ट्र उवाच । तनुरुच्चः शिखी राजा मिथ्योपचरितो मया । मन्दानां मम पुत्राणां युद्धेनान्तं करिष्यति॥५-३६-४७॥
Dhṛtarāṣṭra said: “That king—slender, tall, and crested—has been treated falsely by me; through a strategically ordered engagement he will bring my dull-witted sons to their end.”
english translation
नित्योद्विग्नमिदं सर्वं नित्योद्विग्नमिदं मनः । यत्तत्पदमनुद्विग्नं तन्मे वद महामते॥५-३६-४८॥
This whole condition is ever agitated, and this mind is ever agitated. Tell me, O great-minded one, of that state which is free from agitation.
english translation
विदुर उवाच । नान्यत्र विद्यातपसोर्नान्यत्रेन्द्रियनिग्रहात् । नान्यत्र लोभसंत्यागाच्छान्तिं पश्यामि तेऽनघ॥५-३६-४९॥
Vidura said: I see no peace for you, O blameless one, except through learning and disciplined practice, through restraint of the senses, and through the relinquishment of greed.
english translation
बुद्ध्या भयं प्रणुदति तपसा विन्दते महत् । गुरुशुश्रूषया ज्ञानं शान्तिं त्यागेन विन्दति॥५-३६-५०॥
By discernment one dispels fear; by disciplined practice one attains what is great; by service to teachers one gains knowledge; and by renunciation one attains peace.
