Le yogin discipliné, l’esprit paisible et sans convoitise, n’est pas ébranlé par les terribles vagues de peine et de chagrin nées de l’attachement et de l’affection.
ब्राह्मण उवाच
Educational Q&A
Sorrow and grief become overwhelming chiefly when fueled by attachment (sneha). A yogin who is niḥspṛha (non-grasping) and śāntamānasa (calm-minded) remains steady and is not mentally shaken by painful events.
A brāhmaṇa speaker is instructing about the marks of inner discipline: the truly integrated person (yuktātmā) maintains composure even when confronted with terrifying experiences of loss, fear, and lamentation that arise from emotional clinging.
