दृष्टदुःखेष्वनुद्वेगो विद्यायाः प्रस्तुतं फलम् । यत्कृतं भ्रान्तिवेलायां नाना कर्म जुगुप्सितम् । पश्चान्नरो विवेकेन तत्कथं कर्तुमर्हति ॥
dṛṣṭaduḥkheṣvanudvego vidyāyāḥ prastutaṃ phalam | yatkṛtaṃ bhrāntivelāyāṃ nānā karma jugupsitam | paścānnaro vivekena tatkathaṃ kartumarhati ||
Not being shaken by the sorrows one meets is the evident fruit of knowledge. The many shameful acts a person did in the time of delusion: how could he do them afterwards, once he has discernment?
देखे-भोगे दुखों में व्याकुल न होना विद्या का प्रत्यक्ष फल है। भ्रम के समय में जो अनेक निन्दनीय कर्म किए, विवेक आने के बाद मनुष्य उन्हें फिर कैसे कर सकता है?
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
Understanding shows in two ways: you are steadier in hardship, and you stop repeating what you once did in confusion. The past need not define you once you see clearly.
समझ दो रूपों में दिखती है: कठिनाई में आप अधिक स्थिर रहते हैं, और भ्रम में किए गए कर्म दोहराना छोड़ देते हैं। साफ़ देखने के बाद अतीत आपकी परिभाषा नहीं रहता।
The guru, continuing his teaching to the disciple, says the visible fruit of knowledge is not being shaken by sorrow, and one who has gained discernment cannot repeat the wrongs done in delusion.
