अयोऽग्नियोगादिव सत्समन्वयान् । मात्रादिरूपेण विजृम्भते धीः । तत्कार्यमेतद्द्वितयं यतो मृषा । दृष्टं भ्रमस्वप्नमनोरथेषु ॥
ayo'gniyogādiva satsamanvayān | mātrādirūpeṇa vijṛmbhate dhīḥ | tatkāryametaddvitayaṃ yato mṛṣā | dṛṣṭaṃ bhramasvapnamanoratheṣu ||
Like iron glowing through contact with fire, the intellect, through its connection with the real, unfolds as knower, knowing and the rest. Its products, this pair (subject and object), are false, as is seen in illusion, dream and daydream.
जैसे अग्नि के संयोग से लोहा चमक उठता है, वैसे ही सत् के संबंध से बुद्धि ज्ञाता आदि रूपों में फैलती है। उसके कार्य, यह द्वैत, मिथ्या हैं, जैसा भ्रम, स्वप्न और मनोरथ में देखा जाता है।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
The mind seems to shine with its own light, but it borrows that light from awareness, as iron borrows heat from fire. Our daydreams show how easily the mind builds whole worlds that are not there.
मन अपने ही प्रकाश से चमकता लगता है, पर वह प्रकाश चेतना से उधार लेता है, जैसे लोहा आग से गर्मी लेता है। हमारे दिवास्वप्न दिखाते हैं कि मन कितनी आसानी से ऐसी दुनिया गढ़ लेता है जो है ही नहीं।
The guru continues teaching the disciple in the Vivekachudamani (attributed to Shankaracharya): he explains that the intellect, lit by its contact with the real like iron glowing in fire, appears as knower and known; this duality is false, as seen in error, dream and fancy.
