Recitation with translationAmritbindu Upanishad 6

naiva cintyaṃ na cācintyaṃ na cintyaṃ cintyam eva ca | pakṣapāta-vinirmuktaṃ brahma sampadyate tadā ||6||

इसको ना सोचना चाहिए, ना ना सोचना चाहिए। ना यह सोचने वाली चीज़ है, ना बस सोचने से हो जाएगी। जब पक्ष-पक्ष से आज़ाद हो जाओ, तब ब्रह्मन मिलता है।

It is neither to be thought of, nor not to be thought of; it is neither thinkable, nor indeed (merely) thinkable. Then Brahman—free from partiality (all bias)—is attained.

Brahman beyond conceptualization (nirvikalpatā) and freedom from mental bias (pakṣapāta-tyāga)Mahavakya: Supports the purport of ‘prajñānaṃ brahma’ by indicating Brahman is not an object of discursive thought; points toward immediate, non-objectifying knowledge.AtharvaAtharvaveda (commonly transmitted without a firmly fixed śākhā attribution in the extant tradition) ShakhaChandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
