Atma Upanishad: Verse 24
संयुक्तमेकतां याति तथात्मन्यात्मविन्मुनिः । एवं विदेहकैवल्यं सन्मात्रत्वमखण्डितम् ॥२४॥
संयुक्तम् । एकताम् । याति । तथा । आत्मनि । आत्म-वित् । मुनिः । एवम् । विदेह-कैवल्यम् । सत्-मात्रत्वम् । अखण्डितम् ॥२४॥
saṃyuktam ekatāṃ yāti tathātmany ātmavin muniḥ | evaṃ videhakaivalyaṃ sanmātratvam akhaṇḍitam ||24||
जो चीज़ जुड़ जाती है, वो एक हो जाती है। वैसे ही मुनि, जो अपने आप को जानता है, वो अपने आप में एक हो जाता है। यह स्टेट है जब शरीर की बंधन से आज़ादी मिलती है। बस सच है, कोई टुकड़ा नहीं, पूरा एक।
What is conjoined becomes one; so too, in the Self the sage who knows the Self (abides as one). Thus (there is) bodiless aloneness (videha-kaivalya), the undivided state of mere Being (sat-mātratva).
- तथात्मन्यात्मविन्मुनिः → तथा + आत्मनि + आत्म-वित् + मुनिः (आत्मनि + आत्मवित् → आत्मन्यात्मवित्; त् + म् → न्म् in sandhi: विन्मुनिः)
- सन्मात्रत्वम् → सत् + मात्रत्वम् (त् + म् → न्म्)
