Vivekachudamani 1.352

1.352 Guru to Disciple

इत्थं विपश्चित्सदसद्विभज्य । निश्चित्य तत्त्वं निजबोधदृष्ट्या । ज्ञात्वा स्वमात्मानमखण्डबोधं । तेभ्यो विमुक्तः स्वयमेव शाम्यति ॥

itthaṃ vipaścitsadasadvibhajya | niścitya tattvaṃ nijabodhadṛṣṭyā | jñātvā svamātmānamakhaṇḍabodhaṃ | tebhyo vimuktaḥ svayameva śāmyati ||

Thus the wise one, separating the real from the unreal and settling the truth by the eye of his own understanding, knowing his own Self as undivided awareness, is freed from them and of himself attains peace.

इस प्रकार विद्वान सत् और असत् को अलग करके, अपनी बोध-दृष्टि से तत्त्व का निश्चय करके और अपने आत्मा को अखंड बोध जानकर, उनसे मुक्त होकर स्वयं ही शांत हो जाता है।

Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ

Peace is not given by others or by circumstances; it comes when you see for yourself what in you is lasting and what is passing.

शांति दूसरे लोग या परिस्थितियाँ नहीं देतीं; वह तब आती है जब आप स्वयं देख लेते हैं कि आपके भीतर क्या स्थायी है और क्या क्षणिक।

The guru continues teaching the disciple in the Vivekachudamani (attributed to Shankaracharya): he says the wise person who separates real from unreal and knows his own Self as undivided awareness becomes free of them and is at peace by himself.
