व्याप्यव्यापकनिर्मुक्तः त्वमेकः सफलं यदि । प्रत्यक्षं चापरोक्षं च ह्यात्मानं मन्यसे कथम् ॥
vyāpyavyāpakanirmuktaḥ tvamekaḥ saphalaṃ yadi | pratyakṣaṃ cāparokṣaṃ ca hyātmānaṃ manyase katham ||
If you are truly the One, free of pervaded and pervader, how can you think of the Self as something perceived, or as something directly present to you?
यदि तुम सच में व्याप्य और व्यापक से मुक्त एक ही हो, तो आत्मा को प्रत्यक्ष या अपरोक्ष (सामने उपस्थित वस्तु) कैसे मानते हो?
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
As long as the Self is pictured as something in front of you, even very close, there are still two. The verse keeps pointing back to the one who is looking.
जब तक आत्मा को सामने की कोई चीज़ माना जाए, चाहे बहुत निकट, तब तक दो बने रहते हैं। यह श्लोक बार-बार देखने वाले की ओर लौटाता है।
Dattātreya the Avadhūta asks the listener, if he is truly the One beyond pervader and pervaded, how he can think of the Self as something perceived.
