Sanskrit Original
अन्तरात्मनि संलीय मनःषष्ठानि मेधया। इन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थांश्च बहुचिन्त्यमचिन्तयन्॥ ध्यानेनोपरमं कृत्वा विद्यासम्पादितं मनः। अनीश्वरः प्रशान्तात्मा ततोऽर्छत्यमृतं पदम्॥
Merging the senses having the mind for their sixth and all the objects of the senses into the inner self by the help of the understanding, and meditating upon the three states of consciousness, viz., the object thought, the act of thinking, and the thinker, and abstaining by contemplation from every kind of enjoyment, replenishing his mind with the knowledge that he is Brahma's self, laying aside at the same time all consciousness of power, and there by making his Soul perfectly tranquil, the Yogin attains to immortality.
