Adhyaya 41 — Yogic Conduct and the Discipline Leading to Siddhi
विशुद्धबुद्धिः समलोष्टकाञ्चनः समस्तभूतेṣu च तत्समाहितः ।
स्थानं परं शाश्वतमव्ययञ्च परं हि मत्वा न पुनः प्रजायते ॥
viśuddhabuddhiḥ samaloṣṭakāñcanaḥ samastabhūteṣu ca tatsamāhitaḥ / sthānaṁ paraṁ śāśvatam avyayañ ca paraṁ hi matvā na punaḥ prajāyate
শুদ্ধ বুদ্ধিতে মাটির ঢেলা ও সোনাকে সমান জেনে, সকল জীবের মধ্যে সেই তত্ত্বে স্থিরচিত্ত থেকে, পরম ধামকে নিত্য ও অবিনশ্বর জেনে—সে আর পুনর্জন্ম লাভ করে না।

‘Clod and gold equal’ signals dissolution of saṁskāras of acquisition; ‘That in all beings’ points to a unitive contemplation where multiplicity is read as the one Brahman.
