Shloka 23
Sanatsujāta on the Imperceptible Eternal Light (यत्तच्छुक्रं महज्ज्योतिः)
न साधुना नोत असाधुना वा- समानमेतद् दृश्यते मानुषेषु । समानमेतदमृतस्य विद्या- देवंयुक्तो मधु तद् वै परीप्सेत् । योगिनस्तं प्रपश्यन्ति भगवन्तं सनातनम्,परमात्माका न तो साधुकर्मसे सम्बन्ध है और न असाधुकर्मसे। यह विषमता तो देहाभिमानी मनुष्योंमें ही देखी जाती है। ब्रह्मका स्वरूप सर्वत्र समान ही समझना चाहिये। इस प्रकार ज्ञानयोगसे युक्त होकर आनन्दमय ब्रह्मको ही पानेकी इच्छा करनी चाहिये। उस सनातन परमात्माका योगीलोग साक्षात्कार करते हैं
na sādhunā nota asādhunā vā samānam etad dṛśyate mānuṣeṣu | samānam etad amṛtasya vidyā devaṃ-yukto madhu tad vai parīpset | yoginas taṃ prapaśyanti bhagavantaṃ sanātanaṃ paramātmānam |
Sanatsujāta said: “In human beings, one does not truly see this Reality as different in the ‘good’ or in the ‘bad’; such inequality is perceived only among those who identify with the body. Know the nature of the Immortal to be the same everywhere. Therefore, endowed with the discipline of knowledge and yoga, one should seek that blissful Brahman alone. The yogins behold that eternal Lord—the ancient, supreme Self—directly.”
