श्रीमदमृतचन्द्रविरचितः
Although you were (already) endowed with internal control, which is independent (of external formalities, such as becoming a monk, etc.), you still established yourself at first in the path of external control [dravya-samyama]. Thus, you did not invalidate the importance of the absolute interdependence of internal and external control. (3) [53]
विश्रान्तरागरुषितस्य तपोऽनुभावादन्तर्बहिः समतया तव भावितस्य । आसीदहियमिदं सदृशं प्रमेयमन्तयोः परिचरः सदृशः प्रमाता ॥४॥

Through the majesty of your austerities, both attachment and aversion were pacified. (Thus) you realized equanimity, internal as well as external. The two passions (i.e. attachment and a version) became (for you) like (ordinary) external objects, and you knew them internally as you would any object (i.e. they were no longer afflictions or influences, but simply objects of perception). (4) [54]
मोहोदयस्खलितबुद्धिरलब्धभूमिः पश्यन् जनो यदिह नित्य बहिर्मुखोऽयम् । शुद्धोपयोगदृढभूमिमितः समन्तादन्तर्मुखस्त्वमभवः कलयंस्तदेव ॥५॥

A person who, even when he has contemplated that (true self), continues with his face turned outward (i.e. does not terminate his involvement with external objects), will, his intelligence (thus) vitiated by the rising of cheracter-deluding karmas, fail to attain the higher stages (of pure consciousness). You (on the other hand), having perceived that same self, turned completely inward, and thus attained the firm stage of pure consciousness (from which there is no falling back). (5) [55]
