By carefulness one should keep off fear, and by contemplation of the Soul one should conquer vital airs. One should remove by patience desire, hatred, and lust; and error, ignorance, and doubt, by study of truth. By pursuit of knowledge one should avoid inquiry after uninteresting things.
अप्रमादाद् भयं रक्षेच्छ्वासं क्षेत्रज्ञशीलनात्। इच्छां द्वेषं च कामं च धैर्येण विनिवर्तयेत्॥ भ्रमं सम्मोहमावर्तमभ्यासाद् विनिवर्तयेत्। निद्रां च प्रतिभां चैव ज्ञानाभ्यासेन तत्त्ववित्॥
