17.16 मनःप्रसादः serenity of mind? सौम्यत्वम् goodheartedness? मौनम् silence? आत्मविनिग्रहः selfcontrol? भावसंशुद्धिः purity of nature? इति thus? एतत् this? तपः austerity? मानसम् mental? उच्यते is called.Commentary Just as a lake which is without a ripple on it surface is very tranil? so also the mind which is free from modifications? from wandering thoughts of sensual objects? is ite serene and calm.Saumyatvam Intent on the welfare of all beings the state of mind which may be inferred from its
Non-dualism. The individual self and Brahman are one. The world is appearance (maya). Liberation through knowledge.
।।17.16।।मनका प्रसाद अर्थात् मनकी परम शान्ति -- स्वच्छता सम्पादन कर लेना? सौम्यता -- जिसको सुमनसता कहते हैं वह मुखादिको प्रसन्न करनेवाली अन्तःकरणकी शुद्धवृत्ति? मौन -- अन्तःकरणका संयम? क्योंकि वाणीका संयम भी मनःसंयमपूर्वक ही होता है? अतः कार्यसे कारण कहा जाता है? मनका निरोध अर्थात् सब ओरसे साधारणभावसे मनका निग्रह और भली प्रकार भावकी शुद्धि अर्थात् दूसरोंके साथ व्यवहार करनेमें छलकपटसे रहित होना? यह मानसिक तप कहलाता है। केवल वाणीविषयक मनके संयमका नाम मौन है और सामान्यभावसे संयम करनेका नाम आत्मनिग्रह है -- यह भेद है।
