| 26. By whatever
cause the wavering and unsteady mind wanders away from that let him restrain
it and bring it back direct under the control of the Self.Sound and other
objects are the causes which make the mind wander away. It is a natural
weakness of the mind to be thus led away by senseobjects. By convincing
oneself of the illusoriness of senseobjects through an investigation into
their real nature, and by cultivating indifference to worldly object, the
mind can be restrained from senseobjects and brought back to the Self wherein
to abide firmly. In virtue of this practice of Yoga, the Yogins mind attains
peace in the Self. |
