26. Through whatever cause the restless, unsteady mind wanders away, curbing it from that, let him bring it under the control of the Self alone. Through whatever cause, such as sound etc., the restless. excessively fickle, and hence unsteady mind wanders away, due to its inherent weakness, curbing it from that, restraining it from such cause as sound etc., by reducing it (the sense-object) to a phantom through an investigation of its nature, and also by culti vating indifference to the world.[1] let him bring it, the mind, under the control of the Self alone, cause it to depend on (be submissive to. i.e. abide in) the Self. Thus, by virtue of such practice of Yoga, the yogin's mind attains tranquillity (dissolution) in the Self alone. |
