नाविरतो दुश्चरितान्नाशान्तो नासमाहितः । नाशान्तमानसो वापि प्रज्ञानेनैनमाप्नुयात् ॥
nāvirato duścaritānnāśānto nāsamāhitaḥ | nāśāntamānaso vāpi prajñānenainamāpnuyāt ||
Not one who has not turned away from wrong conduct, not one who is not calm, not one who is not collected, nor one whose mind is not at peace, can reach him by insight.
जो बुरे आचरण से नहीं हटा, जो शांत नहीं, जो एकाग्र नहीं, और जिसका मन शांत नहीं, वह केवल बुद्धि के ज्ञान से इसे नहीं पा सकता।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
Understanding grows from how we live: honest conduct, a calm mind and steady attention come first. Cleverness without these does not reach far.
समझ इससे बढ़ती है कि हम कैसे जीते हैं: ईमानदार आचरण, शांत मन और स्थिर ध्यान पहले आते हैं। इनके बिना चतुराई दूर तक नहीं जाती।
Yama on who cannot reach the Self: one who has not given up wrong conduct, who is not calm, not collected, whose mind is not at peace cannot reach it by insight.
