1.285 Guru to Disciple

प्रतीतिर्जीवजगतोः स्वप्नवद्भाति यावता । तावन्निरन्तरं विद्वन्स्वाध्यासापनयं कुरु ॥

pratītirjīvajagatoḥ svapnavadbhāti yāvatā | tāvannirantaraṃ vidvansvādhyāsāpanayaṃ kuru ||

As long as the perception of the individual and the world appears, even as a dream, so long, O learned one, remove the superimposition on yourself without a break.

जब तक जीव और जगत की प्रतीति स्वप्न की तरह भी भासती है, तब तक, हे विद्वान, निरंतर अपने अध्यास को दूर करो।

Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ

Don't declare victory too soon. As long as you are still caught in your story, keep practising gently and steadily.

जल्दी जीत की घोषणा मत करो। जब तक तुम अपनी कहानी में फँसे हो, धीरे और लगातार अभ्यास जारी रखो।

The guru says to remove superimposition continuously as long as the individual and the world still appear, even dream-like.
