Wika ng mga Śruti: Tagumpay, tagumpay sa Iyo, O hindi matatalo! Sa Iyong likas na kalagayan, ganap Ka sa lahat ng kadakilaan; kaya pakiwaksi ang māyā na humahawak sa mga guṇa at nagdudulot ng kasalanan at pagdurusa sa mga kaluluwang nakagapos. O Ikaw na gumigising sa lahat ng lakas ng mga nilalang na gumagalaw at di-gumagalaw! Kung minsan, kapag Ikaw ay naglīlā kasama ng Iyong di-matatalong kapangyarihang materyal at espirituwal, saka lamang nakikilala Ka ng mga Veda.
According to Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī, the twenty-eight verses of the prayers of the personified Vedas (texts 14-41) represent the opinions of each of the twenty-eight major śrutis. These chief Upaniṣads and other śrutis concern themselves with various approaches to the Absolute Truth, and among them those śrutis are supreme which emphasize pure, unalloyed devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Upaniṣads direct our attention to the Personality of Godhead by first negating what is distinct from Him and then defining some of His important characteristics.
FAQs
Ajita means “unconquered.” The Śrutis praise the Supreme Lord as never overcome by māyā or any power, even though He controls all energies.
Because the Lord acts by His own inconceivable potency (ajayā) and is unlimited; therefore finite words and concepts can only indicate Him, not exhaustively define Him.
It teaches humility before the Absolute and encourages devotion: instead of trying to “master” God intellectually, one should seek purification from māyā and approach Him through sincere bhakti.
