Shloka 11
Sahadeva on Attachment (mamatā), ‘mameti/na mameti’, and the Middle Path of Conduct
Devanagari script
बाह्यान्तरं च भूतानां स्वभाव॑ पश्य भारत । ये तु पश्यन्ति तद् भूतं मुच्यन्ते ते महाभयात्,भरतनन्दन! प्राणियोंका बाह्य स्वभाव कुछ और होता है और आन्तरिक स्वभाव कुछ और। आप उसपर गौर कीजिये। जो सबके भीतर विराजमान परमात्माको देखते हैं, वे महान् भयसे मुक्त हो जाते हैं
Translation
O Spross der Bhāratas, sieh hin: Bei den Wesen ist die äußere Natur eine, die innere aber eine andere. Wer den Paramātman erblickt, der in allen wohnt, der wird vom großen Schrecken befreit.
