Sanatsujāta on the Imperceptible Eternal Light (यत्तच्छुक्रं महज्ज्योतिः)

उस पूर्णब्रह्मसे ही वायुका आविर्भाव हुआ है और उसीमें वह चेष्टा करता है। उसीसे अग्नि और सोमकी उत्पत्ति हुई है तथा उसीमें यह प्राण विस्तृत हुआ है ।। सर्वमेव ततो विद्यात्‌ तत्‌ तद्‌ वक्तुं न शक्‍नुम: । योगिनस्तं प्रपश्यन्ति भगवन्तं सनातनम्‌,कहाँतक गिनावें, हम अलग-अलग वस्तुओंका नाम बतानेमें असमर्थ हैं। तुम इतना ही समझो कि सब कुछ उस परमात्मासे ही प्रकट हुआ है। उस सनातन भगवानका योगीलोग साक्षात्कार करते हैं

tasmāt pūrṇabrahmaṇa eva vāyor āvirbhāvo jātaḥ, tasminn eva ca sa ceṣṭate | tasmād agneḥ somasya ca utpattir jātaḥ, tasminn eva ca ayaṃ prāṇaḥ vistṛtaḥ || sarvam eva tato vidyāt, tat tad vaktuṃ na śaknumaḥ | yoginas taṃ prapaśyanti bhagavantaṃ sanātanam ||

由那圆满的梵,风自显现,并在同一真实中运行作为;由同一源头,火与苏摩而生;亦在同一真实中,生命之息遍布诸有。是故当知:一切唯从“彼”而出;我们不能逐一指名而尽数。只须明白:凡所有存在,皆是至上自性之流现——那永恒之主,瑜伽行者亲证直见。

Educational Q&A

All phenomena—cosmic forces like wind, fire, Soma, and the life-breath—arise from the one complete Brahman and operate within it; the ultimate reality cannot be exhaustively listed as separate entities, but is directly realized by yogins as the eternal Lord.

Sanatsujata continues his instruction by shifting from enumerating particulars to emphasizing a single source: he teaches that the diverse powers of the world originate in Brahman and that true knowledge is not mere cataloging but realization of the eternal Bhagavān through yogic insight.
