Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā / 2.42 The mind beyond the mind
2.42
Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
मारुते मध्यसंचारे मनःस्थैर्यं प्रजायते ।
यो मनःसुस्थिरीभावः सैवावस्था मनोन्मनी mārute madhyasaṃcāre manaḥsthairyaṃ prajāyate |
yo manaḥsusthirībhāvaḥ saivāvasthā manonmanī
The line
When the wind moves in the middle, steadiness of mind is born. That well-steadied state of mind is itself the state manonmanī (मनोन्मनी).
नेपालीमा
वायु बीचमा चल्दा मनको स्थिरता जन्मन्छ। मनको त्यो राम्ररी स्थिर अवस्था नै मनोन्मनी अवस्था हो।
Where it sits
Manonmanī (मनोन्मनी) is the mind gone beyond the mind. 4.4 lists it among the names of the one state.
Split: mārute (मारुते) madhya (मध्य) + saṃcāre (संचारे) manaḥ (मनः) + sthairyaṃ (स्थैर्यं) prajāyate (प्रजायते) / yo (यो) manaḥ (मनः) + susthirī (सुस्थिरी) + bhāvaḥ (भावः) saivāvasthā (सैवावस्था) manonmanī (मनोन्मनी)
