श्रस्ततन्द्रे रतः विधातव्यः
पुम्भि - निर्वाणपदकांक्षिभिः । रागद्वेषद्विषज्जयः ॥ ४६ ॥
समत्वेन
Meaning: Those who desire moksha should come out of the stupor and with alertness and equanimity destroy these passions of attachment and hatred.
श्रमन्दानन्दजनने साम्यवारिणि मज्जताम् । जायते सहसा पुंसां रागद्वेषमलक्षयः ।। ५० ।। प्रणिहन्ति क्षणार्धेन साम्यमालम्ब्य कर्म तत् । यन्न हन्यान्नरस्तीव्र- तपसा जन्मकोटिभिः ।। ५१ ।।
Meaning: The purifying waters of equanimity cleanse the dirt of the passions and provide profound bliss.
A moment's detachment helps one to shed off the karmic dirt which otherwise would not be possible even with the penance of thousands of years.
कर्म जीवं च संश्लिष्टं परिज्ञातात्मनिश्चयः । विभिन्नीकुरुते साधुः सामायिकशलाकया ।। ५२॥
Meaning: With equanimity the sadhus remove karmas fused with the soul, just as one removes leaf from a sticky solution with a cane straw.
रागादिध्वान्तविध्वंसे
कृते सामायिकांशुना । स्वस्मिन् स्वरूपं पश्यन्ति योगिनः परमात्मनः ।। ५३ ।।
Meaning The light of equanimity destroys the clouding dark passions of attachment etc., and the yogis are able to see the godly soul within.
