1.456 Guru to Disciple

न तस्य मिथ्यार्थसमर्थनेच्छा । न संग्रहस्तज्जगतोऽपि दृष्टः । तत्रानुवृत्तिर्यदि चेन्मृषार्थे । न निद्रया मुक्त इतीष्यते ध्रुवम् ॥

na tasya mithyārthasamarthanecchā | na saṃgrahastajjagato'pi dṛṣṭaḥ | tatrānuvṛttiryadi cenmṛṣārthe | na nidrayā mukta itīṣyate dhruvam ||

He has no wish to uphold the unreal objects, nor is he seen to cling to that world. If he still went along with the false objects, he would certainly not be considered free from sleep.

उसे मिथ्या वस्तुओं को सच सिद्ध करने की इच्छा नहीं होती, न उस (स्वप्न-)जगत को पकड़े रहना दिखाई देता है। यदि वह फिर भी मिथ्या वस्तुओं के पीछे चले, तो उसे निश्चय ही नींद से मुक्त नहीं माना जाता।

Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ

If we keep chasing and defending what we say we have seen through, we have not really seen through it yet. Clinging is the honest measure.

जिसकी असलियत समझ लेने का हम दावा करते हैं, अगर फिर भी उसी के पीछे भागते और उसी का बचाव करते हैं, तो अभी सचमुच समझा नहीं। पकड़ ही ईमानदार कसौटी है।

The guru: the waker has no wish to prove the dream objects real, nor does he hold on to that world; if he still followed the false objects, he would not be called free from sleep.
