7. Chapter 7 — The Disciple’s Realization
Verses 1–5
7.1
जनक उवाच — janaka uvāca
मय्यनंतमहांभोधौ विश्वपोत इतस्ततः ।
भ्रमति स्वांतवातेन न ममास्त्यसहिष्णुता ॥
mayyanaṃtamahāṃbhodhau viśvapota itastataḥ ।
bhramati svāṃtavātena na mamāstyasahiṣṇutā ॥
In me, the boundless ocean, the ark of the universe moves hither and thither impelled by the wind of its own nature. 1 am not impatient. Impatient — affected.
7.2
मय्यनंतमहांभोधौ जगद्वीचिः स्वभावतः ।
उदेतु वास्तमायातु न मे वृद्धिर्न च क्षतिः ॥
mayyanaṃtamahāṃbhodhau jagadvīciḥ svabhāvataḥ ।
udetu vāstamāyātu na me vṛddhirna ca kṣatiḥ ॥
In me, the limitless ocean, let the wave of the world rise or vanish of itself. I neither increase nor decrease thereby.
7.3
मय्यनंतमहांभोधौ विश्वं नाम विकल्पना ।
अतिशांतो निराकार एतदेवाहमास्थितः ॥
mayyanaṃtamahāṃbhodhau viśvaṃ nāma vikalpanā ।
atiśāṃto nirākāra etadevāhamāsthitaḥ ॥
In me, the boundless ocean, is the imagination of the universe. I am highly
7.4
नात्मा भावेषु नो भावस्तत्रानन्ते निरंजने ।
इत्यसक्तोऽस्पृहः शान्त एतदेवाहमास्तितः ॥
nātmā bhāveṣu no bhāvastatrānante niraṃjane ।
ityasakto'spṛhaḥ śānta etadevāhamāstitaḥ ॥
The Self is not in the object nor"^ is the object in That which is infinite and stainless. Thus It is free from attachment and desire and tranquil. In this alone do I abide.
7.5
अहो चिन्मात्रमेवाहं इन्द्रजालोपमं जगत् ।
इति मम कथं कुत्र हेयोपादेयकल्पना ॥
aho cinmātramevāhaṃ indrajālopamaṃ jagat ।
iti mama kathaṃ kutra heyopādeyakalpanā ॥
Oh, I am really Consciousness itself. The world is like a juggler’s show. So how and where can there be any thought of rejection and acceptance in me?
