Mokṣa-dharma Yoga-Upadeśa: Equanimity, Sense-Restraint, and Vision of the Ātman (आत्मदर्शन-योगोपदेशः)
अगन्धमरसस्पर्शमशब्दमपरिग्रहम् । अरूपमनभिश्ञेयं दृष्टवा$5त्मानं विमुच्यते,जो आत्माको गन्ध, रस, स्पर्श, शब्द, परिग्रह, रूपसे रहित तथा अज्ञेय मानता है, वह मुक्त हो जाता है
agandham arasa-sparśam aśabdam aparigraham | arūpam anabhijñeyaṁ dṛṣṭvā ātmānaṁ vimucyate ||
જે આત્માને ગંધ, રસ, સ્પર્શ અને શબ્દથી પરે—અપરિગ્રહ, અરૂપી અને સામાન્ય જ્ઞાનનો વિષય ન ગણાવી યથાર્થ રીતે જુએ છે, તે મુક્ત થાય છે.
ब्राह्मण उवाच
Educational Q&A
Liberation comes from direct realization of the Self as non-sensory and non-objectifiable—beyond smell, taste, touch, sound, form, and possessiveness—so that one no longer mistakes sensory attributes and grasping for one’s true identity.
A brāhmaṇa speaker delivers an instruction on liberation, defining the Self negatively (neti-neti style) as free from sensory qualities and ownership, and stating that seeing the Self in this way leads to release.
