Vivekachudamani 1.338

1.338 Guru to Disciple

अन्तर्बहिः स्वं स्थिरजङ्गमेषु । ज्ञात्वात्मनाधारतया विलोक्य । त्यक्ताखिलोपाधिरखण्डरूपः । पूर्णात्मना यः स्थित एष मुक्तः ॥

antarbahiḥ svaṃ sthirajaṅgameṣu | jñātvātmanādhāratayā vilokya | tyaktākhilopādhirakhaṇḍarūpaḥ | pūrṇātmanā yaḥ sthita eṣa muktaḥ ||

Knowing oneself as inside and outside all things, moving and unmoving, and seeing oneself as their support, one who has given up every limiting adjunct, undivided in nature, and abides as the full Self: such a one is liberated.

जो स्थावर और जंगम सबके भीतर और बाहर अपने को ही जानकर, अपने को सबका आधार देखता है, सारी उपाधियाँ छोड़कर अखंड रूप हो गया है और पूर्ण आत्मा के रूप में स्थित है, वही मुक्त है।

Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ

The free person does not feel walled off from the world; the same awareness is seen in everyone and everything. That is a widening of the self, not a withdrawal from life.

मुक्त व्यक्ति स्वयं को दुनिया से कटा हुआ नहीं मानता; वही चेतना उसे सबमें और सब कुछ में दिखती है। यह जीवन से हटना नहीं, अपने को विस्तृत होते देखना है।

The guru continues teaching the disciple in the Vivekachudamani (attributed to Shankaracharya): he describes the liberated person: one who sees himself within and without, in all moving and unmoving things, as their support.
