ātmatspto munirbhavet 11611 1110211 Meaning : Knowing the mad lust for the world just equalto fatness due to swelling in a man or decorating a man abcut to te slaughtered, with ornaments, the monk should be satisfied with his own soul. (6) (102 ]
Notes : The monk knows the lust for the world (worldly pleasures ) to be as equal to as the fat appearance due to (a disease of) swelling or to decorating a man about to be slaughtered. Therefore, he should seek contentment in his soul only. The pursuits after worldly pleasures are useless. Soul is the only thing which is real. (6) [102 ]

yogānām maunamuttamam 11711 ||10311 Meaning : Silence which is but the non-utterance of a single syllable is natural even amongst one-sensed beings. But that silence (or monkhood ) is excellent which is the non-employment of the three instruments of activity as regards material objects.(7)[103]
Notes : Triple activity, through mind, speech and body should be directed to achieving spiritual eminence and not any material prosperity. Ata means silence as well as monkhood (gfaan). (7) (103]
