ఏ సుఖము మొదట విషము వలె ఉండి, చివరకు అమృతము వలె ఉండునో, మరియు ఆత్మబుద్ధి ప్రసాదము వలన కలుగునో, ఆ సుఖము సాత్త్వికమని చెప్పబడును.
That which is like poison in the beginning, but comparable to nectar in the end, and which, arises from the purity of one's intellect-that joy is spoken of as born of sattva.
సత్త్వగుణ ప్రధానమైన సుఖం ప్రారంభంలో ఇంద్రియ నిగ్రహం, తపస్సు వంటి కఠిన సాధనల వల్ల విషం వలె అనిపించినా, చివరకు ఆత్మజ్ఞానం ద్వారా అమృతం వంటి శాశ్వత ఆనందాన్ని, శాంతిని ప్రసాదిస్తుంది.
Agree vishma iva In the beginning it is attended with much pain as one has to abandon the sensual objects and comforts and practise severe austerities and rigorous Sadhana. He has to undergo a severe ordeal when he practises Yama? Niyama? Tapas and various other vows. He has to cultivate dispassion or indifference to sensual pleasures. This gives him much pain at first. The practice of concentration and meditation also gives pain the beginning. Subjugation of the senses is also very troublesome. Nux vomica is very bitter. One feels much discomfort when he takes a mixture that contains nux vomica. But he derives much pleasure in the end when he gets vigour and good appetite and when his dyspepsia is cured. Even so the aspirant drinks the nectar of immortality in the end? attains the highest knowledge? rejoices in the,Self to his hearts content and enjoys supreme peace and eternal bliss.Proktam It is declared by the wise.Atmabuddhiprasadajam Born as purity of ones own intellect or born of the direct? perfect and clear knowledge of Brahman or the immortal? selfluminous? eternal and supreme Self or the Absolute. The individual self experiences Sattvic happiness when it realises union with the highest Self.The pleasure so born is Sattvic. (Cf.VI.1?2)
