Ashtavakra Gita • Chapter 18 • Shloka 75
निरोधादीनि कर्माणि जहाति जडधीर्यदि।
मनोरथान् प्रलापांश्च कर्तुमाप्नोत्यतत्क्षणात्॥
If a person of immature understanding abandons practices such as mental restraint (Nirodha) and other disciplines prematurely,
then, in the very next moment,
he becomes carried away by mental fantasies, desires, and idle talk.
Mere abandonment of practice is not freedom; without true understanding, the mind simply returns to its habitual tendencies.
