असमाधेरविक्षेपान्न मुमुक्षुर्न चेतरः । निश्चित्य कल्पितं पश्यन्ब्रह्मैवास्ते महाशयः ॥
asamādheravikṣepānna mumukṣurna cetaraḥ | niścitya kalpitaṃ paśyanbrahmaivāste mahāśayaḥ ||
Being neither in samadhi nor distracted, neither seeking liberation nor otherwise, having seen with certainty that all is imagined, the great-hearted one abides as Brahman itself.
न समाधि में, न विक्षेप में; न मुमुक्षु, न उसके विपरीत; सबको कल्पित निश्चय करके देखता हुआ वह महाशय ब्रह्म ही होकर रहता है।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
Labels like 'seeker', 'meditator' or 'worldly' can become another role to play. Beyond them is simply being what one is.
'साधक', 'ध्यानी' या 'संसारी' जैसे नाम भी एक और भूमिका बन सकते हैं। इनसे परे है बस वह होना जो हम हैं।
Ashtavakra teaches Janaka in the final chapter on peace (shanti): he says the great-hearted one, being neither in absorption nor in distraction, neither a seeker of liberation nor anything else, sees all as imagined and abides as Brahman.
