कर्मणा निर्मितो देहः प्रारब्धं तस्य कल्प्यताम् । नानादेरात्मनो युक्तं नैवात्मा कर्मनिर्मितः ॥
karmaṇā nirmito dehaḥ prārabdhaṃ tasya kalpyatām | nānāderātmano yuktaṃ naivātmā karmanirmitaḥ ||
The body is formed by karma; let prārabdha be ascribed to it. It is not fitting for the beginningless Self, for the Self is not made by karma.
शरीर कर्म से बना है; प्रारब्ध की कल्पना उसी के लिए की जाए। अनादि आत्मा के लिए यह उचित नहीं, क्योंकि आत्मा कर्म से नहीं बना।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
Your circumstances, body and history were shaped by causes; you, the one aware of them, were not. That distinction can give dignity in hard conditions.
आपकी परिस्थितियाँ, शरीर और इतिहास कारणों से बने हैं; पर उन्हें जानने वाले आप नहीं। यह भेद कठिन हालात में भी गरिमा देता है।
The guru: the body is made by karma, so prārabdha may be ascribed to it, but not to the beginningless Self, which is not made by karma.
