Translation
Firmly establishing the intellect in the pure Brahman at all times is called samādhānam, quietening of mind, but not the pampering (lulling or soothing) of mind.
Annotation
The expression ‘pure Brahman’ refers to the Brahman without attributes – That which is known as Existence, Consciousness and Bliss. Pampering is done in the case of children by giving what they want. Such pampering has to be avoided by the seeker (Jagadguru).
