yasyābhinnamidaṃ sarvaṃ yacceṃgadyañca neṃgati | tamugramajaraṃ devaṃ dhyātvā duḥkhātpramucyate || 10 ||

Translation

Для Него вся эта вселенная нераздельна — и движущееся, и неподвижное. Созерцая того грозного, нестареющего Бога, человек освобождается от скорби.

FAQs

What is the spiritual significance of this verse in Narada Purana?

It teaches a non-separation (abheda) vision: realizing the Divine as the essence of everything—moving and unmoving—makes meditation transformative and leads to freedom from duḥkha (sorrow).

How does this verse explain the path of devotion (Bhakti)?

Bhakti here is expressed as dhyāna—steadfast contemplation of the awe-inspiring, ageless Lord present in all. Seeing all as belonging to and pervaded by God deepens devotion and dissolves grief.

What practical Vedic knowledge (Vedanga) is highlighted here?

The verse primarily emphasizes dhyāna-yoga rather than a specific Vedāṅga; practically, it supports disciplined mantra/meditation practice grounded in Vedāntic meaning (artha) rather than ritual technique alone.
