Sanatsujāta on the Imperceptible Eternal Light (यत्तच्छुक्रं महज्ज्योतिः)
नास्यातिवादा हृदयं तापयन्ति नानधीत॑ नाहुतमग्निहोत्रम् । मनो ब्राह्मी लघुतामादधीत प्रज्ञां चास्मै नाम धीरा लभन्ते । योगिनस्तं प्रपश्यन्ति भगवन्तं सनातनम्
na asyātivādā hṛdayaṃ tāpayanti nānadhītaṃ nāhutaṃ agnihotram | mano brāhmī laghutām ādadhīta prajñāṃ cāsmai nāma dhīrā labhante | yoginas taṃ prapaśyanti bhagavantaṃ sanātanam |
Sanatsujāta sprach: Für den Kenner des Brahman versengen harte Worte und übermäßiger Tadel nicht das Herz. Auch Gedanken wie: „Ich habe nicht studiert“ oder „Ich habe das Agnihotra nicht dargebracht“ erzeugen in seinem Geist kein Gefühl der Kleinheit. Der auf Brahman ausgerichtete Geist legt die Engherzigkeit ab, und er erlangt jene feste Weisheit, die nur die wahrhaft Standhaften gewinnen. Die Yogins schauen den ewigen Herrn unmittelbar.
सनत्सुजात उवाच
Educational Q&A
A Brahman-knower is not inwardly burned by blame or harsh speech, nor weighed down by guilt over missed rituals or study; through a Brahman-directed mind he gains steady wisdom, and yogins realize the eternal Lord directly.
In the Udyoga Parva dialogue, Sanatsujāta instructs (in a spiritual counsel setting) on the marks of true wisdom: inner freedom from social reproach and ritual anxiety, culminating in yogic vision of the eternal Bhagavān.
