Shloka 35

अव्यक्तकालमान-निर्णयः

Measures of Time from the Unmanifest; Creation, Elements, and the Primacy of Mind

अदुष्ट॑ वर्तमाने तु हृदयान्तरपूरुषे । तेनैव देवा: प्रीयन्ते सतां मार्गस्थितेन वै,हृदयगुफामें रहनेवाला अन्तर्यामी आत्मा जब दोषभावसे रहित हो जाता है, उस अवस्थामें उसका साक्षात्कार करनेवाला पुरुष सन्मार्गगामी समझा जाता है। उसकी इस स्थितिसे ही देवता प्रसन्न होते हैं

aduṣṭa-vartamāne tu hṛdayāntara-pūruṣe | tenaiva devāḥ prīyante satāṁ mārga-sthitena vai ||

Apabila Insan Batin yang bersemayam di gua hati tinggal bebas daripada cela dan niat jahat, maka orang yang menyedari-Nya diketahui teguh di jalan orang-orang baik. Dengan kesucian batin dan keteguhan yang benar itulah para dewa berkenan.

Educational Q&A

The verse teaches that true righteousness is grounded in inner purity: when the indwelling Self in the heart is approached without दोष (fault, malice, corrupt intent), the seeker becomes established on the path of the good, and this very state of purity and right-standing pleases the gods.

Haṃsa is instructing about the inner spiritual criterion of a 'good path': not merely external acts, but the faultless, purified orientation toward the inner Self (the heart-dwelling Puruṣa). The statement links inner realization and ethical steadiness with divine approval.
