घनलछुमार-- “जिख॒ समय मनुष्य मनन करता है तभी वह किरोषरूपसे जानता है; बिना मनन क्य कोद नदी जानता, णप्तु मनन करनेपर् ही जानता है। अवधान एक सीमित क्षमता है: जो विषय बार-बार मन में आता है, वही अगली क्रिया की दिशा बनता है। यह पंक्ति उसी मानसिक चयन को अपना विषय बनाती है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
