Devanagari script

एष आत्मविपर्यासो ह्यलिङ्गे लिङ्गभावना । एष प्रियाप्रियैर्योगो वियोग: कर्मसंसृति: ॥ २५ ॥ सम्भवश्च विनाशश्च शोकश्च विविध: स्मृत: । अविवेकश्च चिन्ता च विवेकास्मृतिरेव च ॥ २६ ॥

Transliteration

eṣa ātma-viparyāso hy aliṅge liṅga-bhāvanā eṣa priyāpriyair yogo viyogaḥ karma-saṁsṛtiḥ

Translation

لِنگ سے بے نیاز آتما میں لِنگ کی بھاونا رکھنا ہی آتما-وِپریاس ہے۔ پسند و ناپسند کے ساتھ ملاپ اور جدائی سے کرم-سنسار چلتا ہے۔ اسی سے پیدائش و فنا (موت)، غم، نادانی اور فکر پیدا ہوتے ہیں؛ کبھی صحیح فہم کی یاد آتی ہے اور کبھی پھر غلط تصور میں گر پڑتا ہے۔

FAQs

What does the Srimad Bhagavatam say about bodily identification and false ego?

This verse explains that the living being misidentifies the self (which is actually beyond material labels) by superimposing bodily and mental designations, and that this mistaken identity becomes the root of samsara.

Why does Śukadeva Gosvāmī describe union and separation as karmic bondage?

Because attachment to what is ‘pleasant’ and aversion to what is ‘unpleasant’ create repeated cycles of association and loss, which bind the jīva to karma and repeated birth and death.

How can I apply this teaching in modern life?

Practice observing pleasure and pain without building identity around them—reduce “I am this body/mind” thinking, and cultivate devotion and discernment so reactions don’t create new karmic entanglement.
