Kaivalya Upanishad: Verse 3
न कर्मणा न प्रजया धनेन त्यागेनैके अमृतत्वमानशुः । परेण नाकं निहितं गुहायां विभ्राजते यद्यतयो विशन्ति ॥३॥
न । कर्मणा । न । प्रजया । धनेन । त्यागेन । एके । अमृतत्वम् । आनशुः । परेण । नाकम् । निहितम् । गुहायाम् । विभ्राजते । यत् । यतयः । विशन्ति ॥३॥
na karmaṇā na prajayā dhanena tyāgenaike amṛtatvam ānaśuḥ | pareṇa nākaṃ nihitaṃ guhāyāṃ vibhrājate yad yatayo viśanti ||3||
करम से नहीं, बच्चों से नहीं, धन से नहीं अमृत मिलता। त्याग करके ही कुछ लोगों ने अमृत पाया। वो चीज आसमान से भी ऊपर है, दिल की गुफा में है। वही चमक रही है जहां संन्यासी पहुंच जाते हैं।
Not by action, not by progeny, not by wealth—by renunciation alone some attained immortality. Higher than heaven, placed in the cave (of the heart), that (Reality) shines forth—into which the ascetics enter.
