Translations
With the senses, mind, and intellect ever controlled, having liberation as their supreme goal, free from desire, fear, and anger, the sage is truly liberated forever.
Governing sense, mind, and intellect, intent on liberation, free from desire, fear, and anger, the sage is eternally free.
- Keeping external objects outside, fixing the eyes at the juncture of the eye-brows, and controlling the outgoing and incoming breaths that move through the nostrils, the contemplative who has mastery over his organs, mind, and intellect should be fully intent on Liberation and free from desire, fear, and anger. He who is ever thus is verily free.
।।5.27 -- 5.28।। बाह्य पदार्थोंको बाहर ही छोड़कर और नेत्रोंकी दृष्टिको भौंहोंके बीचमें स्थित करके तथा नासिकामें विचरनेवाले प्राण और अपान वायुको सम करके जिसकी इन्द्रियाँ, मन और बुद्धि अपने वशमें हैं, जो मोक्ष-परायण है तथा जो इच्छा, भय और क्रोधसे सर्वथा रहित है, वह मुनि सदा मुक्त ही है।Commentary
If one is free from desire, fear and anger he enjoys perfect peace of mind. When the senses, the mind and the intellect are subjugated, the sage does constant contemplation and, attains for ever to the absolute freedom or Moksha. The mind becomes restless when the modifications of deisre, fear and anger arise in it. When one becomes desireless, the mind moves towards the Self spontaneously liberation or Moksha becomes his highest goal. Muni is one who does Manana or reflection and contemplation.
