Adhyātma-krama: Indriya–Manas–Buddhi–Ātman Hierarchy and Citta-Prasāda (आध्यात्मक्रमः)
एतदेवं च नैवं च न चोभे नानुभे तथा । कर्मस्था विषयं ब्रूयु: सत्त्वस्था: समदर्शिन:
vyāsa uvāca | etad evaṃ ca naivaṃ ca na cobhe nānubhe tathā | karmasthā viṣayaṃ brūyuḥ sattvasthāḥ samadarśinaḥ ||
Vyāsa dit : Ceux qui demeurent attachés à l’action et à la controverse parlent d’un objet en disant : « C’est ainsi », « Ce n’est pas ainsi », « C’est l’un et l’autre » ou « Ce n’est ni l’un ni l’autre ». Mais les yogins établis dans la sattva, voyant d’un regard égal, discernent partout l’unique Brahman comme le fondement causal derrière toutes les apparences.
व्यास उवाच
Educational Q&A
Debates that affirm, deny, combine, or negate propositions remain at the level of object-focused reasoning; the sattva-established yogin transcends such oppositions by seeing Brahman alone as the underlying causal reality in all cases.
Vyāsa contrasts two modes of understanding: worldly disputation about objects (typical of those oriented to action and analysis) versus the yogic, sattvic vision that resolves multiplicity into the single causal principle, Brahman.
