Shloka 36

Adhyaya 37 — Alarka’s Crisis and the Teaching on Non-Attachment (Madālasa’s Instruction Recalled)

Sanskrit

मनस्यवस्थितं दुःखं सुखं वा मानसञ्च यत् ।

यतस्ततो न मे दुःखं सुखं वा न ह्यहं मनः ॥

Transliteration

manasy avasthitaṃ duḥkhaṃ sukhaṃ vā mānasañ ca yat | yatas tato na me duḥkhaṃ sukhaṃ vā na hy ahaṃ manaḥ ||

Translation

Боль или удовольствие и всё, что относится к уму, пребывает в уме. Поэтому это не моё — ни боль, ни удовольствие, ибо я не есть ум.

FAQs

Since feelings occur in the mind, one can observe them without self-identification. Practically, this supports patience, non-reactivity, and steadiness.

Didactic yoga/vedānta teaching; not a pañcalakṣaṇa unit.
