Pikiran selalu mengembara jauh, sendiri, tidak berwujud dan tersembunyi dalam gua hati. Mereka yang dapat menaklukkannya, akan terbebas dari jeratan Mara.

Pikiran iku tansah ngumbara adoh, tanpa rowang, ora kasat mata, manggon sajroning ati. Dheweke kang bisa nelukake bakal luwar saka cengkeramaning Mara

Those who bridle their mind which travels far, moves about alone, is without a body, and hides in the chamber (of the heart), will be free from the bonds of Mâra (the tempter).
