Even though it is known thus , He can certainly be taught conventionally by the essential parts of the scriptures concerning the Supreme Spirit and by the practices of contemplating on and praising Hari ( or Lord Visnu )

There cannot be the rightful claim to liberation for a man , by means of several expedients like ( spiritual ) practice , knowledge and devotion done ( by him ) , without dispassion ( or indifference to worldly attachments ) .

|| 1 | CENSURE OF THE BODY | 5 ||
Dispassionateness , Self-Knowledge and Devotion — this triad is spoken of as the means of liberation . In that , dispassion is said to be freedom from desire ( for objects of the senses )

|| 1 | CENSURE OF THE BODY | 6 ||
But , that ( dispassionateness ) is covered in all bodies ( or beings ) by the sense of " I " and " mine " . There , the sense of " I " ( has its origin ) in the body . The sense of " mine " ( has its origin ) in objects like wife , ( son and other possessions )

PRABODHASUDHAKARA | SEL007 | SRI ADI SANKARACARYA
|| 1 | CENSURE OF THE BODY | 7 ||
" Of what nature is this body ? And , what is its connection with the objects ( of the senses ) ? " When being reflected upon thus , the sense of " I " and " mine " come to an end
PRABODHASUDHAKARA | SEL008 | SRI ADI SANKARACARYA
|| 3 | CENSURE OF THE MIND | 51-52 ||
The mind possessed by the demon of desire became a devil . It laughs at one time , weeps ( at some other time and ) wanders about the ten directions , perplexed .
It is pleased at times ( and ) angry ( at other times ) . It is virtuous ( at times ) and wicked ( at other times ) . It reviles ( now and ) praises ( later ) . It hates something with anger . But , at some time or other , it commends itself .
PRABODHASUDHAKARA | SEL009 | SRI ADI SANKARACARYA
|| 3 | CENSURE OF THE MIND | 53 ||
The mind is pulled , as it were , on all sides by ostentation , self-conceit , greed , desire , anger and excessive jealousy like a bone fallen on the way ( being pulled ) by dogs .
PRABODHASUDHAKARA | SEL010 | SRI ADI SANKARACARYA
|| 3 | CENSURE OF THE MIND | 54 ||
Therefore , ( becoming ) stainlessly dispassionate , let one give up the object desired by the mind . Let him make it free from desire . Thereupon , it becomes free from activity .
PRABODHASUDHAKARA | SEL011 | SRI ADI SANKARACARYA
|| 4 | DISPELLING THE OBJECTS OF THE SENSES | 59 ||
With his ears , a man listens to the abuse of another person spoken to the heart's content by tale-bearers . Does the other man die on account of that ?
He ( the hearer ) becomes a great sinner in vain .
PRABODHASUDHAKARA | SEL012 | SRI ADI SANKARACARYA
|| 4 | DISPELLING THE OBJECTS OF THE SENSES | 60 ||
The tongue utters every moment , falsehood and reproach of others . What loss to others is obtained thereby ?
The man becomes a great sinner in vain .
PRABODHASUDHAKARA | SEL013 | SRI ADI SANKARACARYA
|| 5 | RESTRAINT OF THE MIND | 65 ||
The stream of water going out of its own ( source ) approaches the ocean through a low-lying course . If it is remaining motionless in ( its source of ) production , does it not go to the state of an ocean ?
PRABODHASUDHAKARA | SEL014 | SRI ADI SANKARACARYA
|| 5 | RESTRAINT OF THE MIND | 66 ||
Thus , if the mind , reflecting upon its own source , becomes still within or does not rise outwardly , then , will it not go to the state of the Self ( or Pure Consciousness ) by itself ?
PRABODHASUDHAKARA | SEL015 | SRI ADI SANKARACARYA
|| 5 | RESTRAINT OF THE MIND | 69 ||
Having desired whichever object , ( the mind ) runs through the external organs of sense , it is afflicted on its non-acquisition as ( one is afflicted ) about some wealth that is gone .
PRABODHASUDHAKARA | SEL016 | SRI ADI SANKARACARYA
|| 5 | RESTRAINT OF THE MIND | 70 ||
If the mind , roving all around the mountain , the city , fortresses and impassible rivers does not obtain the object ( sought ) , it arrives depressed , as if restrained by poison .
PRABODHASUDHAKARA | SEL017 | SRI ADI SANKARACARYA
|| 5 | RESTRAINT OF THE MIND | 71 ||
The Tumbee fruit , ( a sort of gourd ) , even if thrown forcibly down into water , reaches upwards .
Similarly , the mind held with effort in one's natural state ( i.e. Pure Consciousness ) , goes outwards .
PRABODHASUDHAKARA | SEL018 | SRI ADI SANKARACARYA
|| 5 | RESTRAINT OF THE MIND | 75-6 ||
As a tiger confined within a house having high walls without openings , exhausted by repeated efforts in going out , remains ( where it is ) , falling down and panting , so does the mind remain calm , having seen ( or realised ) its not going out by hundreds of efforts , on account of the restraint of all sense-organs .
Then , it goes to the state of effortlessness .
PRABODHASUDHAKARA | SEL019 | SRI ADI SANKARACARYA
|| 5 | RESTRAINT OF THE MIND | 77 ||
The mind slowly gives up its agitation through the restraint of the movements of Prana ( or bio-energy ) , the company of sages , the renunciation of desires ( or mental impressions left by past actions ) and the acquisition of devotion to the feet of Hari ( or God , in His protective aspect , as Visnu ) .
PRABODHASUDHAKARA | SEL020 | SRI ADI SANKARACARYA
|| 6 | DISPASSIONATENESS | 80 ||
The man devoid of pride and the sense of " mine " , having the face turned away from ( or not caring about ) objects of sense , is not troubled by actions anywhere .
PRABODHASUDHAKARA | SEL021 | SRI ADI SANKARACARYA
|| 6 | DISPASSIONATENESS | 83 ||
For a man possessing the fortune of dispassionateness , whose mind is tranquil , who is free from expectations and who is the enjoyer of unsolicited rewards , there would be satisfaction , ( having accomplished his purpose ) , in this life .
PRABODHASUDHAKARA | SEL022 | SRI ADI SANKARACARYA
|| 6 | DISPASSIONATENESS | 85 ||
The mind that is the deer , having forgotten his abode ( The Self ) , wandering about for a long time in the large forest of worldly existence , bewildered by the rows of flames of a far-reaching forest-conflagration ( in the form ) of the three kinds of afflictions ( mental , physical , destined ) , galloping among worthless ( objects ) with eyes burnt ( with flames ) and subdued forcefully by the snare of desires , is killed in vain by the tigers ( in the form ) of object sense
