विज्ञातब्रह्मतत्त्वस्य यथापूर्वं न संसृतिः । अस्ति चेन्न स विज्ञातब्रह्मभावो बहिर्मुखः॥४८॥

विज्ञात-ब्रह्म-तत्त्वस्य । यथा-पूर्वम् । न । संसृतिः । अस्ति । चेत् । न । सः । विज्ञात-ब्रह्म-भावः । बहिः-मुखः ॥

Recitation with translationAdhyatma Upanishad 48

vijñātabrahmatattvasya yathāpūrvaṃ na saṃsṛtiḥ | asti cen na sa vijñātabrahmabhāvo bahirmukhaḥ ||48||

जब किसी को ब्रह्म का असली चीज़ समझ आ जाता है। तब उसके लिए पुराना जनम-मरण का चक्कर खत्म हो जाता है। अगर अभी भी वही पुरानी बातें चल रही हैं। तो समझो ब्रह्म का ज्ञान हुआ ही नहीं। वो अभी भी बाहर की दुनिया में फंसा हुआ है।

For one who has realized the reality of Brahman, transmigration is not as it was before. If transmigration still exists (for him), then he is not one who has realized the state of Brahman; he remains outward-turned.
