Sanskrit

Sanskrit

असक्तिरनभिष्वङ्गः पुत्रदारगृहादिषु | नित्यं च समचित्तत्वमिष्टानिष्टोपपत्तिषु

Transliteration

asaktiranabhiṣvaṅgaḥ putradāragṛhādiṣu . nityaṃ ca samacittatvamiṣṭāniṣṭopapattiṣu

English

Non-attachment and absence of fondness with regard to sons, wives, homes, etc., and constant eanimity of the mind with regard to the attainment of the desirable and the undesirable;

हिन्दी

आसक्ति तथा पुत्र, पत्नी, गृह आदि में अनभिष्वङ्ग (तादात्म्य का अभाव); और इष्ट और अनिष्ट की प्राप्ति में समचित्तता।।

Explanation — English

When a man thinks? This object is mine? the idea of mineness enters his mind. He develops Abhimana (false identification). Then he begins to love the objects. He clings to them and gets attached to them. Asakti is nonattachment to objects. There is absence of liking for the objects.Anabhishvangah There is intense attachment to wife? son or mother? etc. There is complete identification of the Self with another. He feels happy or miserable when that person is happy or miserable. Govindan feels miserable when his wife is dead because he was very much attached to her but he does not feel anything when his neighbours wife is dead. A man of wisdom has no attachment to his home. He considers his home as a public inn on the side of a public road.And the rest Others who are very dear relatives or other dependants.Constant evenmindedness or eanimity is an index of knowledge. The man of wisdom is neither elated when he gets the desirable or pleasant objects? nor grieves when he attains the undesriable or painful objects.Nonattachment? absence of affection and eanimity are all conducive to the attainment of knowledge of the Self. They are designated as knowledge because they are the means of attaining knowledge.

Explanation — हिन्दी

असक्ति अर्जित की हुयी वस्तुओं से होने वाली सामान्य प्रीति को सक्ति अर्थात् संग कहते हैं। उसका अभाव असक्ति कहलाता है। हमें जो दुख होता है? वह विषयों के कारण नहीं? हमारे उसके साथ के मानसिक संग के कारण होता है। जैसै? अग्नि स्वयं किसी को नहीं जला सकती? जब तक कि कोई उसे स्पर्श न करे।पुत्र? भार्या और गृहादिक में अनभिष्वंग अति स्नेह को अभिष्वंग कहते हैं। अत उसका अभाव ही अनभिष्वंग कहलाता है। जब किसी वस्तु या व्यक्ति के प्रति सामान्य प्रीति बढ़कर आसक्ति का रूप ले लेती है? तब उसे अभिष्वंग कहते हैं। इस आसक्ति का लक्षण है यह है कि मनुष्य को अपनी प्रिय वस्तु या व्यक्ति के साथ इतना तादात्म्य हो जाता है कि उनके सुखदुख उसे अपने ही अनुभव होते हैं। इसका स्पष्ट उदाहरण है पुत्र के प्रति माता की आसक्ति का। इस प्रकार की आसक्ति के कारण व्यक्ति के मन में सदा विक्षेप बना रहता है और वह कार्य करने में भी अकुशल हो जाता है।हमें अपने आन्तरिक व्यक्तित्व के चारों ओर विवेक की ऐसी दीवार खड़ी करनी चाहिये कि ये सभी विक्षेप हमसे दूर रहें और मन का सन्तुलन सदा बना रहे जिसके बिना किसी प्रकार की प्रगति या समृद्धि कदापि संभव नहीं होती।प्रिय और अप्रिय परिस्थितियों में चित्त की समता को सतत अभ्यास करते रहने से प्राप्त किया जा सकता है। यदि मनुष्य अपनी मूढ़ प्रीति और आसक्ति के बन्धनों से मुक्त हो जाये? तो उसे अपने में ही अतिरिक्त शक्ति का भण्डार प्राप्त होता है? जिसका उसे सही दिशा में सदुपयोग करना चाहिये? अन्यथा वही शक्ति आत्मघातक सिद्ध हो सकती है।वह सही दिशा क्या है इसे अगले श्लोक में बताते हैं

Those who are versed in this call him who is conscious of it as the 'knower of the field'.13.3And, O scion of the Bharata dynasty, under-stand Me to be the 'Knower of the field' in all the fields. In My opinion, that is Knowledge which is the knowlege of th field and the knower of the field.13.4Hear from Me in brief about (all) that as to what that field is and how it is; what its changes are, and from what cause arises what effect; and who He is, and what His powers are.13.5It has been sung of in various ways by the Rsis, separately by the different kinds [The different branches of Vedic texts.] of Vedic texts, and also by the rational and convicing sentences themselves which are indicatvie of and lead of Brahman.13.6The great elements, egoism, intellect and the Unmanifest itself; the ten organs and the one, and the five objects of the senses;13.7Desire, repulsion, happiness, sorrow, the aggregate (of body and organs), sentience, fortitude- this field, together with its modifications, has been spoken of briefly.13.8Humility, unpretentiousness, non-injury, for-bearance, sincerity, service of the teacher, cleanliness, steadiness, control of body and organs;13.9Non-attachment with regard to objects of the senses, and also absence of egotism; seeing the evil in birth, death, old age, diseases and miseries;13.11And unwavering devotion to Me with single-minded concentration; inclination to repair into a clean place; lack of delight in a crowd of people;
