Having attained Peace, he becomes free from misery; for when the mind gains peace, right discrimination follows.

That mind, which is directed to follow the wandering sense-organs—that mind carries away his knowledge just as the wind carries away a ship on the waters.
As a ship at sea is tossed by the tempest, so the reason is carried away by the mind when preyed upon by straying senses.
For, when the mind follows the senses experiencing their objects, his understanding is carried away by them as the wind carries away a ship on the waters.
For, the mind which follows in the wake of the wandering senses, that (mind) carries away his wisdom like the mind (diverting) a boat on the waters.
For the mind which follows in the wake of the wandering senses, carries away his discrimination as the wind (carries away) a boat on the waters.

The ability to make decisions is not for one who is not a master of Yoga; and concentration of the mind is not for one who is not a master of Yoga; and peace is not for one who does not concentrate; whence could happiness come to one who has no peace?
Right discrimination is not for him who cannot concentrate. Without concentration, there cannot be meditation; he who cannot meditate must not expect peace; and without peace, how can anyone expect happiness?
There is no Buddhi for the unintegrated, nor for him is there contemplation of the self, and for him without contemplation of the self, there is no peace; and for one lacking peace, where is happiness?
For the unsteady there is no wisdom, and there is no meditation for the unsteady man. And for an unmeditative man there is no peace. How can there be happiness for one without peace?
There is no knowledge of the Self to the unsteady, and to the unsteady no meditation is possible; and to the un-meditative there can be no peace; and to the man who has no peace, how can there be happiness?
