1-6] . MERGING OF THE MIND 105
सदा च भूतेषु समोऽस्मि केवलो यथा च खं सर्वगमक्षरं शिवम् ।
निरन्तरं निष्कलमक्रियं परं ततो न मेऽस्तीह फलं तवेहितैः ॥ ३ ॥
3. The supreme Brahman, the same¹ in all beings
and free from all attributes I am all-pervading like the
ether, imperishable, auspicious, homogeneous, partless
and actionless. I, therefore, have no benefit to be
derived from your efforts.
अहं ममैको न तदन्यदिष्यते तथा न कस्याप्यहमस्म्यसंगतः ।
असङ्गरूपोऽहमतो न मे त्वया कृतेन कार्यं तव चाद्वयत्वतः ॥४॥
4. No one different from Me can belong to Me who
am one only. Nor can I who am unattached belong to
anybody. I have, therefore, no benefit to be derived
from anything done by you. As you² are not other
than Myself you can have no effort nor its results.
फले च हेतौ च जनो विषक्तवानिति प्रचिन्त्याहमतो विमोक्षणे ।
जनस्य संवादमिमं प्रक्लृप्तवान्स्वरूपतत्त्वार्थविबोधकारणम् ॥५॥
5. Considering that people are attached to the ideas
of cause and effect,³ I have composed this dialogue
(between the mind and the Self) leading to the under-
standing of the real nature of the Self in order that they
might get freed from this (bondage).
संवादमेतं यदि चिन्तयेन्नरो विमुच्यतेऽज्ञानमहाभयागमात् ।
विमुक्तकामश्च तथा जनः सदा चरत्यशोकः सम आत्मवित्सुखी ॥
¹ Because the Self of all. ² You are non-conscious and have
no separate existence from Brahman. ³ G. K., 4. 14-28.
