Adhyāya 249 — Mṛtyu-prādurbhāvaḥ (The Manifestation of Death) / Restraint of Tejas and Ordered Saṃhāra
गोचरेभ्यो निवृत्तानि यदा स्थास्यन्ति वेश्मनि । तदा त्वमात्मना55त्मानं पर द्रक्ष्यसि शाश्वतम्
gocarebhyo nivṛttāni yadā sthāsyanti veśmani | tadā tvam ātmanātmānaṃ paraṃ drakṣyasi śāśvatam ||
புலன்கள் தங்கள் பொருள்களிலிருந்து விலகி தம் இருப்பிடத்தில் அமைந்து நிற்கும் போது, நீ உன் உள்ளாத்மாவினாலேயே அந்த நித்திய பரமாத்மாவை தரிசிப்பாய்.

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that realization of the Eternal Supreme becomes possible when the senses withdraw from external objects and become inwardly established; inner vision arises from disciplined self-mastery and recollection of the Self.
Vyāsa is instructing the listener in a yogic-ethical method: turning the senses back from their outward pursuits and stabilizing them in their proper inner seat, which culminates in direct perception of the Supreme, eternal reality.
