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 ||

Wika ni Vyāsa: Yaong mga nakapirmi sa gawa at pagtatalo ay nagsasalita tungkol sa isang bagay sa ganitong paraan: “Ganyan nga,” “Hindi ganyan,” “Pareho,” o “Hindi alinman.” Ngunit ang mga yogin na nakatatag sa sattva, na may pantay na pagtanaw, ay nakakikita sa lahat ng dako ng iisang Brahman lamang bilang saligang sanhi sa likod ng lahat ng anyong lumilitaw.

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.
