अत्रात्मत्वं दृढीकुर्वन्नहमादिषु संत्यजन् । उदासीनतया तेषु तिष्ठेत्स्फुटघटादिवत् ॥
atrātmatvaṃ dṛḍhīkurvannahamādiṣu saṃtyajan | udāsīnatayā teṣu tiṣṭhetsphuṭaghaṭādivat ||
Making firm the sense of Self here, and giving it up in the ego and the rest, one should remain indifferent towards them, as towards a pot or other plainly seen object.
इसी (साक्षी) में आत्म-भाव दृढ़ करते हुए और अहंकार आदि में उसे त्यागते हुए, उनके प्रति वैसे ही उदासीन रहना चाहिए जैसे घड़े आदि स्पष्ट दिखने वाली वस्तुओं के प्रति।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
You can watch your ego's reactions the way you would look at a pot on a shelf: there, visible, but not you. That distance takes away much of their power.
आप अपने अहंकार की प्रतिक्रियाओं को वैसे देख सकते हैं जैसे शेल्फ़ पर रखा घड़ा: सामने, दिखता हुआ, पर आप नहीं। यह दूरी उनकी बहुत-सी ताकत छीन लेती है।
The guru continues teaching the disciple in the Vivekachudamani (attributed to Shankaracharya): he says to make firm one's identity with the Self, give up identity with ego and the rest, and stay indifferent to them as to a pot or other object.
