अदृष्टादश्रुताद् भावान्न भाव उपजायते । असम्प्रयुञ्जत: प्राणान् शाम्यति स्तिमितं मन: ॥ २३ ॥
adṛṣṭād aśrutād bhāvān na bhāva upajāyate asamprayuñjataḥ prāṇān śāmyati stimitaṁ manaḥ
- adṛṣṭāt
- which is not seen
- aśrutāt
- which is not heard
- bhāvāt
- from a thing
- na
- does not
- bhāvaḥ
- mental agitation
- upajāyate
- arise
- asamprayuñjataḥ
- for one who is not using
- prāṇān
- the senses
- śāmyati
- becomes pacified
- stimitam
- checked
- manaḥ
- the mind
Because the mind is not disturbed by that which is neither seen nor heard, the mind of a person who restricts the material senses will automatically be checked in its material activities and become pacified.
