Mokṣa-dharma Yoga-Upadeśa: Equanimity, Sense-Restraint, and Vision of the Ātman (आत्मदर्शन-योगोपदेशः)
Devanagari script
तथा स्वकाये प्रक्षिप्य मनो द्वारैरनिश्चलै: । आत्मानं तत्र मार्गेत प्रमादं परिवर्जयेत्,जैसे घरका सामान अपने कोटेमें डालकर भी मनुष्य उन्हींके चिन्तनमें मन लगाये रहता है, उसी प्रकार इन्द्रियरूपी चंचल द्वारोंसे विचरनेवाले मनको अपनी कायामें ही स्थापित करके वहीं आत्माका अनुसंधान करे और प्रमादको त्याग दे
Transliteration
tathā svakāye prakṣipya mano dvārair aniścalaiḥ | ātmānaṃ tatra mārgeta pramādaṃ parivarjayet ||
Translation
So too should one draw the mind—wandering out through the restless gateways of the senses—back into one’s own body, and there seek the Self. Let him abandon heedlessness and remain vigilant in inner inquiry.
