स्वस्याविद्याबन्धसंबन्धमोक्षात् । सत्यज्ञानानन्दरूपात्मलब्धौ । शास्त्रं युक्तिर्देशिकोक्तिः प्रमाणं । चान्तःसिद्धा स्वानुभूतिः प्रमाणम् ॥
svasyāvidyābandhasaṃbandhamokṣāt | satyajñānānandarūpātmalabdhau | śāstraṃ yuktirdeśikoktiḥ pramāṇaṃ | cāntaḥsiddhā svānubhūtiḥ pramāṇam ||
In freeing oneself from bondage to one's own ignorance, and in realising the Self whose nature is truth, knowledge and bliss, scripture, reasoning and the teacher's words are the means of knowledge; and one's own experience, established within, is also a means of knowledge.
अपनी अविद्या के बंधन से छूटने और सत्य-ज्ञान-आनंद स्वरूप आत्मा की प्राप्ति में शास्त्र, युक्ति और गुरु के वचन प्रमाण हैं; और भीतर सिद्ध हुआ अपना अनुभव भी प्रमाण है।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
Learn from texts, think it through, listen to a good teacher, and then test it in your own experience. All four matter; none alone is enough.
ग्रंथों से सीखो, तर्क से परखो, अच्छे गुरु की सुनो, और फिर अपने अनुभव में जाँचो। चारों ज़रूरी हैं; कोई अकेला पर्याप्त नहीं।
The guru names the means of knowing one's freedom: scripture, reasoning and the teacher's word are proof, and inner self-experience is proof too.
