मन का लक्षण नीर सा, चहुं दिस बिसरे जाए
जब संय्यम का बांध बने, तब ओजस जुड़ जाए
Nature of the mind is like water, when poured, it spreads in all directions (and today , there are innumerable distractions pulling it in different directions) ..it leaks all our energy .
With discipline ( eg. Maha vrata in Jain, Yama/ Niyama in Yoga, Shila in Bauddh marg) the distractions and leaks are plugged and Ojas (energy) accumulates by itself. Then, we can move far in the direction we aim.
Nature of discipline, may vary somewhat with aim.. but no matter the aim, to stop the leakage and build focus is necessary.
While, in the world, our aims may appear different, in the inner realm, our only aim is to awaken and be free.
When the two become aligned, every breath, every step, becomes powerful and leaves a lasting impact.

Alternative nuanced version -
मन का लक्षण नीर सा, चहुं दिस बिसरे जाए
जब संय्यम का बांध बने, तब ही ओजस जुड़ पाए
