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 ||

Вьяса сказал: Те, кто привязан к действию и прениям, говорят о предмете так: «это так», «это не так», «это и так и не так» или «это ни то ни другое». Но йогины, утвердившиеся в саттве и взирающие равным взором, повсюду распознают одного лишь Брахмана как причинное основание, стоящее за всеми явлениями.

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.
