परित्यजति यो दु:खं सुखं चाप्युभयं नर: । ब्रह्म प्राप्नोति सो5त्यन्तमसड्रेन च गच्छति,जो मनुष्य दुःख और सुख दोनोंको त्याग देता है, वही अनन्त ब्रह्मपदको प्राप्त होता है। अनासक्तिके द्वारा भी उसी पदकी प्राप्ति होती है
Transliteration
parityajati yo duḥkhaṃ sukhaṃ cāpy ubhayaṃ naraḥ | brahma prāpnoti so ’tyantam asaṅgena ca gacchati ||
Translation
The hunter says: A person who relinquishes both sorrow and pleasure—refusing to be driven by either—attains the supreme Brahman. That same highest state is reached through non-attachment, by moving through life without clinging.
