Mokṣa-dharma Yoga-Upadeśa: Equanimity, Sense-Restraint, and Vision of the Ātman (आत्मदर्शन-योगोपदेशः)
तस्योपदेशं वक्ष्यामि यथावत् तन्निबोध मे । यैद्वरिश्षारयन्नित्यं पश्यत्यात्मानमात्मनि
tasyopadeśaṁ vakṣyāmi yathāvat tan nibodha me | yair dhāraṇābhiḥ sadā yuktaḥ paśyaty ātmānam ātmani ||
バラモンは言った。「今、あるべき理解のとおりにこの教えを説こう。よく聞け。恒常の修習に励むヨーギーは、内に保ち制する諸々の行によって、心を内へと転じ、この身のうちにおいてそれを統御し、真我(アートマン)が真我のうちに常住するのを観ずるのである。」
ब्राह्मण उवाच
The verse introduces a disciplined method of inner practice: through steady concentration (dhāraṇā) and restraint, the yogin turns the mind inward and realizes the eternal Self, perceiving the Self within the Self rather than seeking fulfillment externally.
A brāhmaṇa speaker begins a formal instruction, asking the listener to attend carefully. He signals that he will explain the practical means by which a yogin controls the mind and attains direct inner vision of the Self.
