अग्निर्यत्राभिमथ्यते वायुर्यत्राधिरुध्यते । सोमो यत्रातिरिच्यते तत्र संजायते मनः ॥
agniryatrābhimathyate vāyuryatrādhirudhyate | somo yatrātiricyate tatra saṃjāyate manaḥ ||
Where fire is churned forth, where the wind is held in check, where soma overflows, there the mind is born.
जहाँ अग्नि मंथन से प्रकट की जाती है, जहाँ वायु को रोका (नियंत्रित किया) जाता है, जहाँ सोम छलकता है, वहीं मन उत्पन्न होता है।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
A focused, awakened mind does not appear by accident; it grows where there is effort (the churning), restraint of breath and energy, and a fullness of joy.
जागा हुआ, एकाग्र मन संयोग से नहीं आता; वह वहाँ जन्म लेता है जहाँ प्रयास (मंथन), प्राण और ऊर्जा का संयम, और आनंद की पूर्णता हो।
Shvetashvatara describes where the mind comes to life, in the imagery of the Vedic fire ritual: where fire is kindled by churning, wind is controlled and soma flows over. The verse is read both ritually and as inner yoga (inner fire, controlled breath).
