Translation

With the cessation of external objects arises the tranquility of mind. When mind becomes tranquil realisation of the Supreme Self takes place. When That Supreme is realised well, it leads to the destruction of the bondage of birth and death. Thus cessation of external objects is the path for liberation.

Annotation

Tranquility of mind is as in the deep sleep when all activity of the mind ceases. It follows that withdrawal of mind from external objects leads to bliss and such mind becomes focused, as the Gita (2–65) says. Mind alone is the means for realisation of Brahman, as the scriptures reiterate (Jagadguru).
