For the renunciate who has done the work of hearing the teaching, so as to realise the Self of all, this scripture enjoins samadhi, in the words 'calm, self-controlled' (śānto dānta).
जिस संन्यासी ने श्रवण का कार्य पूरा कर लिया है, उसके सर्वात्मभाव की सिद्धि के लिए यह श्रुति 'शान्त, दान्त' कहकर समाधि का विधान करती है।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
Hearing the teaching is only the beginning; it has to be followed by a calm, disciplined practice of settling the mind in what was heard.
उपदेश सुनना केवल शुरुआत है; उसके बाद शांत और संयमित होकर सुने हुए सत्य में मन को टिकाने का अभ्यास चाहिए।
The guru continues teaching the disciple in the Vivekachudamani (attributed to Shankaracharya): citing the Upanishadic words 'calm and self-controlled', he says the scripture prescribes samadhi for the renunciate who has completed hearing the teaching.
