Vivekachudamani 1.264

1.264 Guru to Disciple

उक्तमर्थमिममात्मनि स्वयं । भावयेत्प्रथितयुक्तिभिर्धिया । संशयादिरहितं कराम्बुवत् । तेन तत्त्वनिगमो भविष्यति ॥

uktamarthamimamātmani svayaṃ | bhāvayetprathitayuktibhirdhiyā | saṃśayādirahitaṃ karāmbuvat | tena tattvanigamo bhaviṣyati ||

One should, by oneself, contemplate in one's own mind the meaning taught here, with the well-known reasonings, until it is free of doubt and the rest, as clear as water in the palm of the hand. By that, certainty about the truth will come.

यहाँ बताए गए इस अर्थ की अपने भीतर, स्वयं, प्रसिद्ध युक्तियों के साथ बुद्धि से भावना करनी चाहिए, जब तक यह संशय आदि से रहित होकर हथेली पर रखे जल जैसा स्पष्ट न हो जाए। उससे तत्त्व का निश्चय होगा।

Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ

Hearing a teaching is not enough; think it through yourself until your doubts are settled. Real understanding is your own, not borrowed.

किसी शिक्षा को सुन लेना पर्याप्त नहीं; उस पर स्वयं विचार करो जब तक संशय मिट न जाएँ। सच्ची समझ अपनी होती है, उधार की नहीं।

The guru tells the disciple to contemplate this teaching himself, with reasoning, until it is as clear as water held in the palm.
