Shloka 25

सूक्ष्मभूत-भूतात्मविज्ञानम्

Knowing the subtle principle and the bhūtātman through yoga

Devanagari script

सर्वाणि भूतानि सुखे रमन्ते सर्वाणि दुःखस्य भृशं त्रसन्ते । तेषां भयोत्पादनजातखेद: कुर्यान्न कर्माणि हि श्रद्धधान:,सम्पूर्ण प्राणी सुखमें प्रसन्न होते और दुःखसे बहुत डरते हैं; अतः प्राणियोंपर भय आता देखकर जिसे खेद होता है, उस श्रद्धालु पुरुषको भयदायक कर्म नहीं करना चाहिये

Transliteration

sarvāṇi bhūtāni sukhe ramante sarvāṇi duḥkhasya bhṛśaṃ trasante | teṣāṃ bhayotpādana-jāta-khedaḥ kuryān na karmāṇi hi śraddadhānaḥ ||

Translation

Vyāsa said: All beings delight in happiness, and all are greatly afraid of suffering. Therefore, a faithful person—one who feels sorrow upon seeing fear arise in living creatures—should not perform actions that generate fear in others.
