Srimad Bhagavatam — Shashtha Skandha, Shloka 61
Citraketu’s Detachment, Nārada’s Mantra, and the Darśana of Anantadeva
एवं विपर्ययं बुद्ध्वा नृणां विज्ञाभिमानिनाम् । आत्मनश्च गतिं सूक्ष्मां स्थानत्रयविलक्षणाम् ॥ ६१ ॥ दृष्टश्रुताभिर्मात्राभिर्निर्मुक्त: स्वेन तेजसा । ज्ञानविज्ञानसन्तृप्तो मद्भक्त: पुरुषो भवेत् ॥ ६२ ॥
evaṁ viparyayaṁ buddhvā nṛṇāṁ vijñābhimāninām ātmanaś ca gatiṁ sūkṣmāṁ sthāna-traya-vilakṣaṇām
物質的経験を誇る者の行為は、覚醒・夢・深い眠りの三状態で思い描くものとは逆の結果をもたらすと悟れ。さらに、霊魂はきわめて微妙で物質主には捉え難いが、この三状態を超えていると知り、識別の力によって今生と来世の果報への欲を捨てよ。かくして知と実現に満たされ、わが भक्त（献身者）となれ。
FAQs
This verse warns that people proud of their knowledge can live in a reversed understanding of reality; true wisdom begins by recognizing that inversion and turning toward the soul’s transcendental course.
The verse points to the ātman’s subtle, transcendental destination as different from material conditions and transformations—indicating the soul is not confined to bodily or worldly states.
Cultivate humility, examine assumptions about identity and success, and align daily choices with spiritual goals—especially through hearing and practicing bhakti that reveals the soul’s real nature.
