Vivekachudamani 276 meaning
yatha yatha pratyag avasthitam manah tatha tatha munchati bahyavasanam
nihsheshamokshe sati vasananam atm-anubhootih pratibandhashoonya
यथा यथा प्रत्यगवस्थितं मनः तथा तथा मुञ्चति बाह्यवासनाम् ।
निःशेषमोक्षे सति वासनानां आत्मानुभूतिः प्रतिबन्धशून्या ॥
The more the mind rests in the inner Self, the more it lets go of outward cravings. When those cravings are completely gone, experience of the Self is free of all obstacles.
What it means
You don't have to fight every craving head-on. As you spend more time in calm inner awareness, outer pulls naturally lose their grip. Inner calm does much of the work for you.हिंदी में अर्थ
मन जितना-जितना भीतर आत्मा में टिकता है, उतना-उतना बाहरी वासनाएँ छोड़ता जाता है। जब वासनाएँ पूरी तरह छूट जाती हैं, तब आत्मा का अनुभव बिना रुकावट होता है।
हर इच्छा से सीधे लड़ना ज़रूरी नहीं। जैसे-जैसे आप भीतर की शांत चेतना में ज़्यादा समय बिताते हैं, बाहरी खिंचाव अपने-आप ढीले पड़ते हैं।
Spoken by Adi Shankaracharya.
