I see nothing greater than dispassion as a source of happiness for one who has mastered himself; and if it is joined with very pure Self-knowledge, it yields the sovereignty of self-rule. Since this is the door to the maiden of lasting liberation, therefore, for your highest good, be free of craving for anything, everywhere, and always fix your understanding on the eternal Self.
संयमी के लिए वैराग्य से बढ़कर सुख देने वाला मैं कुछ नहीं देखता; और यदि वह अत्यंत शुद्ध आत्म-बोध से युक्त हो, तो स्वाराज्य का साम्राज्य देता है। यही नित्य मुक्ति-रूपी युवती का द्वार है, इसलिए अपने कल्याण के लिए सब जगह निःस्पृह होकर सदा नित्य आत्मा में अपनी प्रज्ञा टिकाओ।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
Being less driven by wanting is itself a kind of happiness, and combined with self-understanding it makes you master of your own life rather than ruled by cravings.
कम चाह से चलना अपने आप में एक प्रकार का सुख है, और आत्म-समझ के साथ मिलकर यह आपको लालसाओं का गुलाम नहीं, अपने जीवन का स्वामी बनाता है।
The guru continues teaching the disciple in the Vivekachudamani (attributed to Shankaracharya): he says he sees nothing greater than dispassion as a source of happiness for the self-controlled; joined with pure Self-knowledge it gives sovereign freedom, so be desireless everywhere and fix your understanding on the Self.
