1. śrīrāma uvāca mune vinā indriyajayena idam ajñatvam
na upaśāmyati tat indriyāṇi katham jīyante me kathaya
1. Shri Rama said: "Without achieving mastery over the senses (indriya-jaya), this state of ignorance does not diminish. Therefore, tell me, O sage, how can the senses be truly subdued?"
1. רָאמָה אמר: ללא כיבוש החושים, הבורות הזו אינה נרגעת. אמור לי, הוי מוּנִי (פרוש קדוש), כיצד נכבשים החושים?

2. Shri Vashistha said: "Mastery over the senses (indriya-jaya) is not found among those indulged in abundant pleasures, nor in those proud of their virility, nor in those deeply attached to life. Nor is it found in the state of being free from the control of senses, just as a lamp is for a person with weak eyesight."
2. וָאסִישְׁטְהָ אמר: אין אור בתענוגות רבים, בגבריות או בעצם החיים, אלא בכיבוש החושים המוביל לשחרור, כשם שנר מאיר לעיניים כהות.

4. puruṣam cinmātram viddhi cetanāt jīvanāmakam yat
cetati saḥ antaḥ jīvaḥ kṣaṇāt tanmayaḥ bhavati
4. Understand the supreme cosmic person (puruṣa) as pure consciousness (cinmātra). From this consciousness, it is named the individual soul (jīva). Whatever (being) is conscious, that individual soul (jīva) residing within quickly becomes identical with that (supreme consciousness).
4. דע כי הַפּוּרוּשַׁה (הישות) הוא תודעה טהורה בלבד, הנקראת גִ'יוָוה (נשמה) בשל מודעותה; מה שהגִ'יוָוה מהרהר בו בפנים, הופך הוא עצמו לאותו הדבר ברגע.

5. saṃvitprayatnasaṃbodhaniśitāṅkuśakarṣaṇaiḥ
mattam manaḥ mataṅgajam jitvā jayati na anyathā
5. One triumphs only by conquering the intoxicated elephant of the mind, through the sharpened goad of awareness, persistent effort, and profound comprehension; there is no other way.
5. רק על ידי משיכה בדרבן החד של ההכרה, המאמץ וההבנה הנכונה, מנצחים את פיל החשיבה השיכור; אין שום דרך אחרת.

tat jayāt jayaḥ.
nanu upānadgūḍhapādasya bhūḥ carmāvṛtā eva.
6. The mind (citta) is the leader of the army of senses; victory is achieved by conquering it. Indeed, for one whose foot is covered by a sandal, the entire earth is as if covered by leather.
6. החשיבה היא המפקדת של צבא החושים, ומי שנרצה אותה מנצח את כולם. הרי עבור מי שרגליו נעולות בנעליים, כל הארץ כולה נראית כמכוסה עור.

7. hṛdi saṃvidam saṃvidākāśe saṃropya tiṣṭhataḥ,
manaḥ svayam eva śāmyet śāradaḥ nīhāraḥ iva.
7. For one who, having established awareness within the expanse of consciousness, remains centered in the heart, the mind itself will spontaneously calm down, just like autumnal mist dissipates.
7. כאשר מציבים את התודעה במרחב התודעה ושוהים בלב, החשיבה נרגעת מעצמה, כמו ערפל הסתיו שנעלם.

8. O dear one (aṅga), just as the mind (cetas) is completely calmed by the disciplined effort of self-awareness, it is not pacified in the same way by multitudes of austerities (tapas), sacred pilgrimages, Vedic knowledge, and ritual Vedic rituals (yajña).
8. ידידי, המחשבה אינה נרגעת באמצעות מכלול של סיגופים, עלייה לרגל, ידע או טקסי יַגְיַה (טקסים וודיים) כפי שהיא נרגעת על ידי ריסון ומאמץ של המודעות העצמית.

nūnam yatnāt bhogānām vismāryate iti tat jayaḥ
9. Whatever little is perceived within consciousness (saṃvit) by consciousness (saṃvit) itself, that (perception) is certainly made to be forgotten with effort. The victory (jaya) lies precisely in this forgetting of worldly enjoyments (bhoga).
9. כל מה שנחווה, כאשר הוא נשכח במכוון מתוך התודעה בעזרת התודעה עצמה, תוך זניחת התענוגות — זהו הניצחון עליהם.

10. By constant effort towards self-awareness (svasaṃvedana), when consciousness (saṃvit) is somewhat restrained from the lure of sense objects (viṣaya), that indeed is the attainment of the divine state.
10. כאשר מרסנים ללא הרף את התודעה מפתיונם של אובייקטים חושיים באמצעות מאמץ של מודעות עצמית, מושג המצב האלוהי והנעלה.

tat eva me rocate; na anyat.
iti eva pade vajradṛḍhībhava
11. "Whatever accrues through the conduct of one's own intrinsic nature (dharma), only that pleases me, and nothing else." With this conviction, become firm as a diamond in this state (or principle).
11. מה שמגיע אליי באופן טבעי מתוך מילוי חוק הטבע האישי (סְוַאדְהַרְמַה), רק הוא רצוי בעיניי ולא שום דבר אחר — בעמדה זו היה איתן כיהלום.

12. Abandoning the inclination of consciousness (saṃvit) towards contradictory objects, and cultivating tranquility (śama) and contentment (saṃtoṣa) - he who remains in such a state is indeed one who has conquered his senses (jitendriya).
12. מי שנמנע מהפניית התודעה לעבר דברים מזיקים, ומטפח בקרבו שלווה ושביעות רצון — הוא נקרא נכבוש חושים.

15. A person endowed with discrimination (viveka), noble-hearted, and one who has conquered their senses (indriya) is truly considered such. By the powerful waves of latent desires (vāsanā), such a one is not bewildered in the ocean of worldly existence (saṃsāra).
15. בעל יכולת ההבחנה, נעלה הנפש, נקרא מרסן החושים. הוא אינו נופל באשליות בים הקיום התופעתי לנוכח עוצמת גלי הרשמים הפנימיים.

18. This world (jagat) is established as purely consciousness (cit), beyond conception. For one possessing true understanding, from where could the perspectives of bondage and liberation (mokṣa) possibly arise?
18. העולם הזה קיים כתודעה טהורה בלבד, ללא אובייקטים לתפיסה. עבור מי שנחן בהבנת האמת, כיצד יימצאו מושגים של כבילות ושחרור?

19. Just as water, having lost its form (by drying up) and diminished, does not flow again, similarly, the objective world (dṛśya), when understood as having no independent cause and severed by true knowledge, does not arise again.
19. כפי שמים שיובשו אינם זורמים עוד, כך העולם הנגלה, בהיותו נעדר סיבה ממשית, אינו צומח מחדש לאחר שנכרת על ידי הידע.

20. Perception (vedana), which takes on forms like 'you' and 'I' and so forth, is merely like space (vyoman) [all-pervading and subtle]. Excluding this (consciousness itself), would there be any other world (jagat) existing, characterized by 'I' and similar concepts?
20. התפיסה היא כמו מרחב פתוח, עוטה צורות של אתה, אני וכדומה. מלבד זאת, מה עוד יכול להיות העולם המתבטא במילים אני ודומהיהם?

21. This world, including concepts like "I" and so forth, is nothing but ignorance. It resides in the pure expanse of consciousness (cit-vyoman), inherently peaceful, and its entire substance is merely emptiness.
21. כל עולם האני והזולת אינו אלא בורות גרידא, השוהה בשקט במרחב התודעה ומהותה אינה אלא ריקנות צרופה.

22. This reflection of consciousness (cit) within the expanse of pure consciousness (cit-vyoman) appears as "the world." And that consciousness (cit) itself is utterly devoid of anything, a mere emptiness; this is indeed the firm conclusion.
22. במרחב התודעה, בבואתה של התודעה זורחת כעולם. התודעה עצמה היא ריקנות מוחלטת, וגם מה שנתפס הוא ריק — זוהי הקביעה הברורה.

23. Who here can refute the example of a dream vision? A dream, though experienced, is fundamentally unreal, and even what is experienced in one's waking state is also essentially unreal.
23. מי יכול לסתור כאן את משל החלום? הרי הוא נחווה אף שהוא חסר מציאות, וגם כאשר הוא חוויה אישית, הוא נותר נעדר קיום ממשי.

24. O dear one (aṅga), that (reality) whose essence is merely pure consciousness (saṃvitti), whatever great kingdom manifests, its true nature (rūpam) is devoid of agent, action, or instrument. Similarly, the world (jagat) is of consciousness (cit).
24. ידידי, כל מלכות מפוארת הנחווית בחלום אינה אלא מודעות טהורה בלבד, ללא פועל, פעולה או מכשיר. כך בדיוק מופיע העולם ביחס לתודעה.

25. I am merely pure consciousness (cit), not an agent, action, or instrument. This world (jagat), too, is indefinable, characterized by self-awareness.
25. אינני פועל, פעולה או אמצעי — אני רק מכלול דחוס של תודעה טהורה. והעולם הזה אינו ניתן להגדרה, ומאופיין אך ורק בחוויה עצמית.

26. Just as death experienced in dreams does not truly exist, so too, this ignorance (avidyā), like the desire for water in a desert, does not exist in reality, though it appears to.
26. כפי שמוות שנחווה בחלום אינו קיים באמת, וכפי שהשתוקקות למים במדבר היא אשליה, כך הבורות הזו, אף שהיא נראית קיימת, אינה קיימת כלל.

27. sargādau vyomni cidvyomnā svam kācakacyam cetitam
iti eva jagat nirmūlam svayam kākatālīyavat
27. By the pure expanse of consciousness (cit-vyoman), its own illusory shimmer (like a mirage) was conceived in the beginning of creation within the space (vyoman). This world (jagat), therefore, is inherently baseless and arises spontaneously, like the 'crow-and-palm-fruit' incident.
27. במרחב התודעה, זוהרה שלו הורה במרחב בראשית הבריאה כעולם — נעדר שורש לחלוטין ומתרחש מעצמו בדרך מקרית.

28. This world (idam) appears to be baseless (nirmūlam), and though it is unmanifested, it seems to exist. Therefore, they (the wise) know that whatever shining thing is here, that alone is the ultimate state (pada).
28. ללא כל שורש מופיע הכל, ואף שאינו מוקרן במציאות, הוא נראה כקורן. על כן, מה שקורן כאן מבוטא על ידי החכמים כמשכן העליון עצמו.

29. Indeed, here, whatever appears as the collection of individual souls (jīva) and the like, that alone is the ultimate reality. Just as water alone constitutes the movements of whirlpools, so too emptiness itself becomes space.
29. הקרינה של הנשמה האינדיבידואלית (גִ'יוָוה) וזולתה המופיעה כאן אינה אלא אותה מציאות עצמה; המרחב אינו אלא ריקנות, והאדוות אינן אלא מים.

30. yathā avayavinaḥ ekam rūpam sāvayavam bhavet

30. Just as a single form belonging to a composite entity (avayavin) itself possesses parts, similarly, the one Brahman, though inherently partless (anavayava), appears as if it has living beings (jīva) and other entities as its constituents.
30. כפי שהשלם הוא בעל צורה אחת המורכבת מחלקים, כך בְּרַהְמַן (המציאות הקוסמית) הוא שלם ללא חלקים, אף על פי שהנשמה וזולתה מופיעות כחלקיו.

31. That which is of the nature of the perceptible (dṛśya) is merely an appearance (ābhāsa); pure consciousness (cit) is tranquil and imperishable. This being the established truth, O steadfast ones, what more is there to deliberate upon regarding its own intrinsic nature (svabhāva)?
31. כל הנגלה אינו אלא הבלחה חולפת; רק התודעה הטהורה, השלווה והבלתי משתנה, קיימת איתן. איזה ערך יש לתלות בדברים אלה כאשר חוקרים את הטבע העצמי?

32. In the supreme state (para pada), there are no internal distinctions (antaḥkalana) of beginning or end whatsoever. Indeed, this (appearance of such distinctions) is nothing but ignorance (avidyā), yet here (in the supreme state), ignorance (avidyā) itself does not truly exist.
32. במשכן העליון אין התחלה, סוף או הבניות מנטליות פנימיות. הבורות הזו אינה אלא ביטוי של אותה מהות, ובאמת אין כל בורות כאן.

34. While the two states of deep sleep and Turiya (the fourth state) are always present in the dream and waking states, the enlightened mind (buddhadhīḥ) knows the waking and dream states as solely Turiya.
34. הנתק משינה עמוקה ומצב התודעה הרביעי (תּוּרִיָה - תודעה טהורה) קיימים תמיד גם בחלום וגם ביקיצה. אך בעל התבונה יודע שהיקיצה והחלום אינם אלא אותה תודעה טהורה אחת.

35. For the enlightened one, waking, dream, and deep sleep - all are (the fourth state of) Turiya. For him, ignorance (avidyā) does not exist; even while appearing to be situated in duality, he is indeed non-dual.
35. עבור המואר, היקיצה, החלום והשינה העמוקה — כולם אינם אלא תּוּרִיָה (מצב התודעה הרביעי). עבורו אין בורות; אף שהוא שוהה בעולם הדואלי, הוא אחד ללא שני.
