अदन्ति चैकं फलमस्य गृध्रा ग्रामेचरा एकमरण्यवासाः । हंसा य एकं बहुरूपमिज्यैर्मायामयं वेद स वेद वेदम् ॥
adanti caikaṃ phalamasya gṛdhrā grāmecarā ekamaraṇyavāsāḥ | haṃsā ya ekaṃ bahurūpamijyairmāyāmayaṃ veda sa veda vedam ||
Vultures that roam the village eat one fruit of it; swans that live in the forest eat the other. He who, through those worthy of honour, knows the One that appears in many forms through māyā, he knows the Veda.
गाँव में विचरने वाले गिद्ध इसका एक फल खाते हैं, वन में रहने वाले हंस दूसरा। जो पूज्य गुरुओं के द्वारा उस एक को, जो माया से अनेक रूप में दिखता है, जान लेता है, वही वेद को जानता है।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
People who grab at the world taste mostly its bitter fruit; those with a quieter, detached mind taste its sweetness. Real knowledge is not information but seeing the one behind the many.
जो संसार पर झपटते हैं, वे अधिकतर उसका कड़वा फल चखते हैं; शांत और अनासक्त मन वाले उसका मधुर फल। सच्चा ज्ञान जानकारी नहीं, अनेक के पीछे एक को देखना है।
Krishna says the greedy, living in the village, eat one fruit of the tree; swans living in the forest eat the other; and whoever knows, through the teachers, the One that appears many through māyā knows the Veda.
