Mundaka Upanishad 2.2.5

2.2.5 Angiras to Shaunaka

यस्मिन्द्यौः पृथिवी चान्तरिक्षमोतं मनः सह प्राणैश्च सर्वैः । तमेवैकं जानथ आत्मानमन्या वाचो विमुञ्चथामृतस्यैष सेतुः ॥

yasmindyauḥ pṛthivī cāntarikṣamotaṃ manaḥ saha prāṇaiśca sarvaiḥ | tamevaikaṃ jānatha ātmānamanyā vāco vimuñcathāmṛtasyaiṣa setuḥ ||

In whom the sky, the earth and the space between are woven, and the mind together with all the life-breaths: know that one alone, the Self. Give up other words. This is the bridge to immortality.

जिसमें द्युलोक, पृथ्वी और अंतरिक्ष, तथा सब प्राणों सहित मन ओतप्रोत है, उसी एक आत्मा को जानो। दूसरी बातें छोड़ दो। यही अमृत तक पहुँचने का सेतु है।

Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ

There is a point where more talk, argument and reading stop helping and only direct attention to what one is helps. The verse asks a seeker to drop idle chatter and put their energy into that.

एक समय आता है जब और बातें, बहस और पढ़ाई मदद नहीं करतीं; तब केवल अपने स्वरूप पर सीधा ध्यान ही काम आता है। यह मंत्र साधक से कहता है कि व्यर्थ की बातें छोड़कर अपनी ऊर्जा उसी में लगाएँ।

Mundaka 2.2.5. Angiras: the one Self in which sky, earth, mid-space and the mind with all the senses are woven is to be known alone; all other talk is to be let go, for this is the bridge to immortality.
