1.475 Guru to Disciple

बन्धो मोक्षश्च तृप्तिश्च चिन्तारोग्यक्षुधादयः । स्वेनैव वेद्या यज्ज्ञानं परेषामानुमानिकम् ॥

bandho mokṣaśca tṛptiśca cintārogyakṣudhādayaḥ | svenaiva vedyā yajjñānaṃ pareṣāmānumānikam ||

Bondage and liberation, contentment, anxiety, health, hunger and the like are to be known by oneself alone; others' knowledge of them is only inference.

बंधन और मोक्ष, तृप्ति, चिंता, आरोग्य, भूख आदि केवल स्वयं ही जाने जा सकते हैं; दूसरों का इनका ज्ञान केवल अनुमान है।

Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ

No one else can feel your hunger or your peace for you. In the end, whether you are free or bound is something you must know firsthand.

आपकी भूख या आपकी शांति कोई और आपके लिए महसूस नहीं कर सकता। अंत में आप मुक्त हैं या बँधे, यह आपको स्वयं जानना होगा।

The guru: bondage, freedom, contentment, worry, health and hunger are known only by oneself; others can only infer them.
