The last line is among the book's most exact orders: mā gṛhāṇa vimuñca mā — “do not grasp and do not let go”.
Both movements are forbidden.
This removes the temptation into which every beginner falls: since grasping is forbidden, one must push away.
No. Pushing away is the same grasping with the sign reversed; both are dealings with the object.
Recall 4.23, where “the striving to take” and “the resolute discarding” are together named the mind's form and the outer.
Note the proviso sa-bāhya-abhyantaram — “outer and inner”. The rule is the same for things and for one's own states.
And sad-asator madhyam — “the middle of the existent and non-existent” — is the very place from which one is bidden look in 5.69.
