यतेन्द्रियमनोबुद्धिर्मुनिर्मोक्षपरायणः। विगतेच्छाभयक्रोधो यः सदा मुक्त एव सः।।5.28।।

yatendriya-mano-buddhir munir mokṣa-parāyaṇaḥ vigatecchā-bhaya-krodho yaḥ sadā mukta eva saḥ

Meaning

Okay, so like, you gotta keep your senses, mind, and intellect on lockdown, with liberation as your ultimate goal. No cap, ditch the desire, fear, and anger, and you're a legit liberated sage, for real, forever.

Commentary

Yo, if you're chill with no FOMO, no rage, and zero anxieties, you're vibing on a whole other level. When you've got your senses, mind, and intellect totally under control, you're straight-up meditating 24/7 and achieving ultimate freedom, aka moksha. A restless mind is a mind tripping on desires, fears, and anger. But when you're desireless, your mind's like, 'Peace out, self!', and moksha becomes your main goal. A muni? That's someone who's all about deep thoughts and reflection.
