Mokṣa-dharma Yoga-Upadeśa: Equanimity, Sense-Restraint, and Vision of the Ātman (आत्मदर्शन-योगोपदेशः)
यथा स्वकोषे प्रक्षिप्प भाण्डं भाण्डमना भवेत्
yathā svakoṣe prakṣipya bhāṇḍaṁ bhāṇḍam anā bhavet, tathendriyarūpaiś cañcaladvāraiś caramāṇaṁ manaḥ svāṁ kāyām eva pratiṣṭhāpya tatraivātmānusandhānaṁ kuryāt pramādaṁ ca tyajet
正如一人纵然已将家中器物一件件安置于自家库藏之中,心念仍萦绕于那些财物;同样地,应当把那经由诸根这不安的“门户”向外游走的心收摄回来,安住于自身之躯,并在此处探求真我(我、Ātman),舍弃放逸与怠惰。
ब्राह्मण उवाच
External order or possession-management does not settle the mind; true discipline is to withdraw the mind from the restless sense-gates, establish it inwardly, and pursue Self-inquiry while abandoning pramāda (carelessness).
A Brahmin speaker delivers an instruction using a household analogy: even after storing goods safely, one can remain mentally entangled; likewise, the mind roams through the senses unless deliberately re-centered in the body for contemplation of the Self.
