Sanskrit Original
।।2.44।।तेषां सम्यण्युक्तिनिर्णयात्मिका बुद्धिः समाधौ समाध्यर्थे न विधीयते। सम्यङ्निर्णीतार्थानामीश्वरे मनस्समाधानं सम्यग्भवति। तद्धि मोक्षसाधनम्। उक्तं चैतदन्यत्र न तस्य तत्त्वग्रहणाय साक्षाद्वरीयसीरपि वाचः समासन्। स्वप्ने निरुक्त्या गृहमेधिसौख्यं न यस्य हेयानुमितं स्वयं स्यात् भाग.5।11।3।
The properly determined, discriminative intellect of those persons is not prescribed for samādhi (in the sense of meditative absorption) as an object distinct from samādhi. When the mind, intent on the Lord, is rightly settled on the Lord's determinate purport, that is samādhi — and that is the means to moksha. This statement is not elsewhere given as a direct verbal admission for apprehending that reality; even an instance used in a dream-interpretation (nirukta) shows that household enjoyments should not be taken as authoritative for the essential truth.
