मूल पाठ सहायकReading aid for the sourceWord by word (पदच्छेद व अन्वय)पदच्छेद
In the inner life, Brahman shows up as the persistent pull of the mind toward truth, beauty, goodness — the recurring intention (saṅkalpa) that you cannot quite shake. The longing itself is the trace of the source.
और आत्म-स्तर पर: वह जिसकी ओर मन जाता-सा है, जिसके द्वारा मन लगातार स्मरण करता है — गहरा सङ्कल्प।

और आत्म-स्तर पर: वह जिसकी ओर मन जाता-सा है, जिसके द्वारा मन लगातार स्मरण करता है — गहरा सङ्कल्प। 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.
