Satyena  labhyas - tapasa  hyesa  atma

samyag - jnanena  brhma - caryena  nityam,

antah - sarire  jyotir - mayo  hi  subhro

yam  pasyanti  yatayah  kshina - doshah.




satyena  =  by  veracity  ( truth );

labhyah  =   is  attained;

tapasa  =  by  concentration,  austerity;

hi  =  verily;

esah  =  this;

atma  =  Jivatma ( Self );

samyak   jnanena  =  by  true  knowledge,  wisdom;

brahma-caryena  =  by  self-control,  continence;

nityam  =  constantly;

antah - sarire  =  within  the  body ( or  mind );

jyotirmayah  =  resplendent,  luminous;

hi  =  verily;

subhrah  =  stainless;

kshina-doshah  =  who  are  purified,  sinless.


 






 "The  Self  is  attained  through  veracity,  concentration,  wisdom  and  continence;  cultivate  all  of  them  constantly.

When  impurities  ( thus )  dwindle,  the  ascetic  beholds  HIM  -- --Stainless,  resplendent  ---  within  his  very  body."

Next : Discussion-1. "Satyam, Ahimsa, Brahmacaryam"

 To be continued  ....








know the self, know the self in Nature, know the self in Jiva, Further Oneness.
