Translation

ਜੋ ਸਾਧਕ ਸਭ ਭੂਤਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਕੇਵਲ ਆਤਮਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਹੀ ਵੇਖਦਾ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਸਭ ਭੂਤਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਆਤਮਾ ਨੂੰ ਵੇਖਦਾ ਹੈ—ਫਿਰ ਉਹ ਕਿਸੇ ਤੋਂ ਘਿਨ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਦਾ, ਨਾਂ ਹੀ ਪਿੱਛੇ ਹਟਦਾ ਹੈ।

Academic Translation

But he who sees all beings in the Self alone, and the Self in all beings—thereafter he does not shrink away (does not feel aversion).

Verse Context

• Ātman-Brahman nonduality; sarvātma-bhāva; liberation through knowledge (jñāna) removing aversion (dveṣa)
• Mahavakya: Directly reinforces ‘tat tvam asi’ and ‘ayam ātmā brahma’: the Self is the reality in all beings, and all beings are not-other than the Self.
• Yajur
• Śukla (Vājasaneyī) Yajurveda; commonly transmitted with the Mādhyandina/Kāṇva recensions of the Vājasaneyī Saṃhitā Shakha
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka-like 4 pādas of ~8 syllables; commonly treated as anuṣṭubh in recitation)
