Verse 3

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

The senses are horses. The wise strike them with the whip of seeing the faults that show in sense objects, draw them back with the rope of attention turned inward, and, knowing that knowing, bind them together as one in That. That Reality, beyond anything that can be known as an object: is it not you yourself?

Word for word

Urging the horses that are the senses with the whip called knowledge of the defects apparent in sense objects, and drawing them back with the rope of inward attention, the wise who know that awareness gather and hold them as one in That. Are you yourself not that Reality beyond an object of knowledge?
