1.403 Guru to Disciple

एकात्मके परे तत्त्वे भेदवार्ता कथं वसेत् । सुषुप्तौ सुखमात्रायां भेदः केनावलोकितः ॥

ekātmake pare tattve bhedavārtā kathaṃ vaset | suṣuptau sukhamātrāyāṃ bhedaḥ kenāvalokitaḥ ||

In the supreme reality, which is one Self, how could talk of difference survive? In deep sleep, which is happiness alone, who has ever seen difference?

एकात्म परम तत्त्व में भेद की बात कैसे टिक सकती है? केवल सुखरूप सुषुप्ति में किसने भेद देखा है?

Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ

In deep dreamless sleep, every worry, rank and grudge is gone, and we wake saying 'I slept happily'. That simple experience hints that peace does not depend on the world of differences.

गहरी स्वप्नरहित नींद में हर चिन्ता, पद और शिकायत चली जाती है, और हम जागकर कहते हैं 'सुख से सोया'। यह सरल अनुभव संकेत देता है कि शान्ति भेदों की दुनिया पर निर्भर नहीं।

The guru, continuing his teaching to the disciple, points to deep sleep, where there is happiness and no sense of difference, as evidence that reality is one.
