Sanskrit Verse

Translation & Meaning

Those who are on this path are resolute in purpose, and their aim is one. But the thoughts of those who are irresolute are many-branched and endless. The focused, single-pointed mind is the instrument of wisdom and liberation. The scattered mind that pursues many desires simultaneously achieves nothing of lasting value.

Key Teachings

  • Single-pointed resolve is the foundation of spiritual practice
  • The undisciplined mind scatters its energy in endless directions
  • One-pointed determination is necessary for liberation
