यो यया वर्तते वृत्त्या स तयैव विना क्षयी ।
अतश्चित्तोपशान्त्यर्थं तद्वृत्तिं प्रक्षयं नय ॥ २९ ॥

yo yayā vartate vṛttyā sa tayaiva vinā kṣayī |
ataścittopaśāntyarthaṃ tadvṛttiṃ prakṣayaṃ naya || 29 ||

Anything that depends on any faculty, is lost also upon inaction of that faculty; therefore it is by suppression of your thinking (or thoughts), that you can put down your desires, and thereby have rest and peace of your mind.
