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 ||
毗耶娑说:执著于行为与辩论之人,谈论一物时或曰“如是”,或曰“非如是”,或曰“亦如是亦非如是”,或曰“非此亦非彼”。然而安住于萨埵(sattva)的瑜伽行者,以平等之见观照,处处洞见唯有一味梵(Brahman)为诸相背后的因本与根基。
व्यास उवाच
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.
