Vedantasara - Verse 26

Sanskrit

एवम्भूतः प्रमाताधिकारी शान्तो दान्तः” (बृ उ ४.४.२३) इत्यादिश्रुतेः । उक्तञ्च - प्रशान्तचित्ताय जितेन्द्रियाय च प्रहीणदोषाय यथोक्तकारिणे । गुणान्वितायानुगताय सर्वदा प्रदेयमेतत् सततं मुमुक्षवे

Swami Nikhilananda's Translation

Such an aspirant is a qualified student; for it is said in the sruti passages, “quiet, subdued” (Br. Up. IV-4.23). It is further said, “This is always to be taught to one who is of tranquil mind, who has subjugated his senses, who is free from faults, obedient, endowed with virtues, always submissive, and who is constantly eager for liberation” (Sankara’s Upadesha-Sahasri 324.16.72)
