In one living without restraint over the eye faculty, the mind is defiled by forms cognizable by the eye. In one whose mind is defiled, there is no joy. There being no joy, there is no exaltation.

In one whose mind is not concentrated, phenomena do not become manifest. Since phenomena do not become manifest, one is thus reckoned as living with negligence.
