न यत्र दम्भीत्यभया विराजिता मायात्मवादेऽसकृदात्मवादिभि: । न यद्विवादो विविधस्तदाश्रयो मनश्च सङ्कल्पविकल्पवृत्ति यत् ॥ ३० ॥ न यत्र सृज्यं सृजतोभयो: परं श्रेयश्च जीवस्त्रिभिरन्वितस्त्वहम् । तदेतदुत्सादितबाध्यबाधकं निषिध्य चोर्मीन् विरमेत तन्मुनि: ॥ ३१ ॥

Ada suatu Realiti Tertinggi, tempat māyā tidak dapat berkuasa dengan berani sambil berfikir, “Dia penipu; aku akan menguasainya.” Di sana tiada falsafah debat yang ilusif; para pelajar sejati ilmu ātman sentiasa menyelidik menurut pramāṇa yang sah. Di sana tiada minda material yang berayun antara tekad dan ragu; tiada hasil ciptaan, sebab halus, atau tujuan kenikmatan. Di sana juga tiada jīva terikat yang diselubungi ahaṅkāra dan tiga guṇa. Realiti itu menafikan segala yang terbatas dan yang membatasi; maka sang muni hendaklah menghentikan gelombang hidup duniawi dan berdiam dalam Kebenaran Tertinggi itu.
The illusory energy of the Lord, Māyā, can freely exert her influence over those who are hypocritical, deceitful and disobedient to the laws of God. Since the Personality of Godhead is free of all material qualities, Māyā herself becomes fearful in His presence. As stated by Lord Brahmā ( vilajjamānayā yasya sthātum īkṣa-pate ’muyā ): “Māyā herself is ashamed to stand face to face with the Supreme Lord.”
FAQs
This verse explains that in genuine Self-realization, fear, anxiety, and hypocritical pride cannot remain; such impurities lose their place when one steadily contemplates the true Self.
Because the conditioned mind habitually oscillates—planning, judging, accepting, rejecting—creating inner conflict; the verse says this restless pattern does not dominate one established in realized truth.
Reduce compulsive arguing and overthinking by daily sādhana—hearing Bhagavatam, chanting, and self-inquiry—so the mind’s doubt-cycle weakens and fear-based living diminishes.
