एष स्वयंज्योतिरशेषसाक्षी । विज्ञानकोशो विलसत्यजस्रम् । लक्ष्यं विधायैनमसद्विलक्षणम् । अखण्डवृत्त्यात्मतयानुभावय ॥
eṣa svayaṃjyotiraśeṣasākṣī | vijñānakośo vilasatyajasram | lakṣyaṃ vidhāyainamasadvilakṣaṇam | akhaṇḍavṛttyātmatayānubhāvaya ||
This self-luminous witness of all shines constantly in the sheath of the intellect. Making this, which is distinct from the unreal, your goal, realise it as your own Self through an unbroken current of awareness.
यह स्वयं-प्रकाश, सबका साक्षी, विज्ञानमय कोश में निरंतर प्रकाशित है। असत् से विलक्षण इसी को लक्ष्य बनाकर अखंड वृत्ति से इसका अपने आत्मा के रूप में अनुभव करो।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
The awareness that knows your thoughts is always present, even when thoughts are dark. Turn toward it again and again until you recognise it as yourself.
जो चेतना आपके विचारों को जानती है, वह हमेशा उपस्थित है, तब भी जब विचार अँधेरे हों। बार-बार उसकी ओर मुड़िए, जब तक उसे अपने रूप में पहचान न लें।
The guru continues teaching the disciple in the Vivekachudamani (attributed to Shankaracharya): he points to the self-luminous witness of all, shining constantly in the sheath of intellect, and asks the disciple to make it the goal and experience it as himself through unbroken awareness.
