1.281 Guru to Disciple

श्रुत्या युक्त्या स्वानुभूत्या ज्ञात्वा सार्वात्म्यमात्मनः । क्वचिदाभासतः प्राप्तस्वाध्यासापनयं कुरु ॥

śrutyā yuktyā svānubhūtyā jñātvā sārvātmyamātmanaḥ | kvacidābhāsataḥ prāptasvādhyāsāpanayaṃ kuru ||

Having known through scripture, reasoning and your own experience that the Self is the Self of all, remove the superimposition on yourself whenever it appears, even as a faint semblance.

श्रुति, युक्ति और अपने अनुभव से आत्मा को सर्वात्मा जानकर, कहीं भी आभास-मात्र से आ गए अपने अध्यास को दूर करो।

Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ

Understanding is firmest when it rests on three legs: what wise texts say, careful thinking, and your own experience. Then even small slips can be noticed and corrected.

समझ तब सबसे पक्की होती है जब वह तीन आधारों पर टिकी हो: ज्ञानी ग्रंथ क्या कहते हैं, सावधान चिंतन, और अपना अनुभव। तब छोटी चूक भी पहचानी और सुधारी जा सकती है।

The guru tells the disciple, having known through scripture, reasoning and his own experience that the Self is all, to remove any superimposition that appears even faintly.
