प्रत्यगात्माभिधानेन तच्छब्दस्य युतेस्तथा । दशमस्त्वमसीत्येवं वाक्यं स्यात्प्रत्यगात्मनि ॥
pratyagātmābhidhānena tacchabdasya yutestathā | daśamastvamasītyevaṃ vākyaṃ syātpratyagātmani ||
Likewise, through the connection of the word 'That' with [the word] denoting the inner Self, the sentence 'Thou art That' would be about the inner Self, just as [the sentence] 'You are the tenth'.
इसी प्रकार 'तत्' शब्द का अन्तरात्मा को कहने वाले [शब्द] से योग होने के कारण, 'तत्त्वमसि' वाक्य अन्तरात्मा के विषय में होगा, जैसे 'दसवें तुम हो'।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
The vast reality called 'That' is not somewhere far off; it is pointed out as your own innermost self, as plainly as telling someone 'you are the one you were looking for'.
'तत्' कही जाने वाली विशाल सत्ता कहीं दूर नहीं; उसे आपके अपने अन्तरतम स्वरूप के रूप में बताया जाता है, उतनी ही सरलता से जैसे किसी से कहना कि 'जिसे ढूँढ रहे थे वह तुम ही हो'।
Shankaracharya continues: the word 'That' is likewise joined with the word for the inner Self, so the sentence 'Thou art That' is about the inner Self, like the sentence 'You are the tenth' in the familiar story.
