Sanskrit recitationAvadhuta Upanishad 9

yathā raviḥ sarvarasān prabhuṅkte hutāśanaścāpi hi sarvabhakṣaḥ | tathaiva yogī viṣayān prabhuṅkte na lipyate puṇyapāpaiś ca śuddhaḥ ||9||

Как солнце вбирает все соки-эссенции, и как огонь поистине пожирает всё, так и йогин вкушает объекты; будучи чист, он не пятнается ни заслугой, ни грехом.

As the sun consumes (draws up) all essences, and as fire indeed is an eater of all, so too the yogin consumes objects; being pure, he is not tainted by merit and demerit.

Non-attachment amid experience; purity of Self; karma non-binding for the knowerMahavakya: Fruit-state aligned with ‘tat tvam asi’: as the Self is actionless and stainless, the knower remains untainted while experiences arise.AtharvaChandas: Upajāti/triṣṭubh-influenced śloka (loose classical meter)
