विज्ञातब्रह्मतत्त्वस्य यथापूर्वं न संसृतिः । अस्ति चेन्न स विज्ञातब्रह्मभावो बहिर्मुखः ॥
vijñātabrahmatattvasya yathāpūrvaṃ na saṃsṛtiḥ | asti cenna sa vijñātabrahmabhāvo bahirmukhaḥ ||
For one who has known the truth of Brahman, worldly existence does not continue as before. If it does, he has not really known Brahman; he is still turned outward.
जिसने ब्रह्मतत्त्व को जान लिया है, उसका संसार पहले जैसा नहीं रहता। यदि वैसा ही है, तो उसने ब्रह्मभाव को नहीं जाना; वह अभी बहिर्मुख है।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
Understanding that changes nothing in how we live is not yet real understanding. The test of insight is a changed relationship with life.
जो समझ हमारे जीने के ढंग में कुछ नहीं बदलती, वह अभी सच्ची समझ नहीं है। अंतर्दृष्टि की कसौटी जीवन से बदला हुआ संबंध है।
The guru begins a discussion of whether the knower still lives in saṃsāra: if one still does as before, one has not truly known.
