Adhyāya 240: Indriya–Manas–Buddhi–Ātman — The Inner Hierarchy and Restraint (इन्द्रिय-मनस्-बुद्धि-आत्म-क्रमः)
प्रसीदन्ति च संस्थाय तदा ब्रह्म प्रकाशते । योगी पाँचों इन्द्रियोंको वशमें करके उन्हें दृढ़तापूर्वक मनमें स्थापित करे। जब छठे मनसहित ये इन्द्रियाँ बुद्धिमें स्थिर होकर प्रसन्न (स्वच्छ) हो जाती हैं, तब उस योगीको ब्रह्मका साक्षात्कार हो जाता है
prasīdanti ca saṁsthāya tadā brahma prakāśate | yogī pañcendriyāṇi vaśaṁ kṛtvā tāni dṛḍhatayā manasi saṁsthāpayet | yadā ṣaṣṭhena manasā saha imāni indriyāṇi buddhau sthirībhūya prasīdanti (svacchībhavanti), tadā tasya yoginaḥ brahma-sākṣātkāro bhavati |
Vyāsa said: When the senses are gathered and made steady, they grow calm and clear; then Brahman shines forth. A yogin should bring the five senses under control and firmly establish them in the mind. When these senses—together with the sixth, the mind—stand stabilized in the intellect and become serene and transparent, the yogin attains direct realization of Brahman. The ethical thrust is inner governance: mastery of perception and thought is the condition for the highest truth to reveal itself, not as a mere conclusion of the intellect but as lived clarity.
