Word by word

Tap a word to reveal its meaning. Say each one aloud as you go.

In English

Though he talks, gives, receives, opens his eyes, and shuts them, he still knows that his senses are merely disporting themselves among the objects of perception.

Translated by Shri Purohit Swami

Speaking, letting go, seizing, opening, and closing the eyes, one should be convinced that the senses move among the sense-objects.

Translated by Swami Sivananda

Test yourself
