Since there is no agent, action or result in it, [the Self] including outside and inside is unborn. In it, whose would the notion 'mine' and 'I' be, and where would it come from?
कर्ता, कर्म और फल के अभाव के कारण बाहर-भीतर सहित [आत्मा] अजन्मा है। उसमें 'मेरा' और 'मैं' का भाव किसका और कहाँ से होगा?
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
'I' and 'mine' are what make loss and slight hurt so much. Seeing that they have no footing in what you most deeply are can take some of the sting out of them.
'मैं' और 'मेरा' ही हानि और अपमान को इतना चुभने वाला बनाते हैं। यह देखना कि आपके गहरे स्वरूप में इनकी कोई जड़ नहीं, इनकी चुभन कुछ कम कर सकता है।
Shankaracharya, in the fourteenth chapter of the Upadeshasahasri (on dream and memory), argues that in the unborn Self there is no basis for the notions 'I' and 'mine'.
