Question and answer 19

விசாரலக்ஷணங்களை இவ்வளவு விஸ்தாரமாகக் கூறக்கேட்டும் என் மனம் சிறிதும் சாந்தி யடையவில்லையே! இதற்குக் காரண மென்ன?

மனோபலம் அதாவது சித்தத்தினொருமைப்பா டின்மையே அதற்குக் காரணம்.

In plain words

I've heard the whole shape of this enquiry explained at such length now — and still my mind hasn't found a scrap of peace! Why is that?

The reason is simply this: your mind lacks the strength that comes from being one-pointed.

Word for word

Even after hearing the marks of enquiry expounded at such length, my mind has not attained the slightest peace! What is the reason for this?

The lack of mental strength, that is, the lack of one-pointedness of the mind — that alone is the reason.
