क्लेशोऽधिकतरस्तेषामव्यक्तासक्तचेतसाम् | अव्यक्ता हि गतिर्दुःखं देहवद्भिरवाप्यते

对于那些心意执着于无形(梵)的人来说,挣扎更大;因为,无形(梵)的目标,有形众生难以达到。
For them who have their minds attached to the Unmanifested the struggle is greater; for, the Goal which is the Unmanifest is attained with difficulty by the embodied ones.
崇拜有属性(Saguna)和无属性(Nirguna)梵(梵)的人,达到相同的目标。但后者(无属性梵)的道路非常艰难困苦,因为修行者必须从灵性修行的最初阶段就放弃对身体的执着。有形众生是指那些将自己等同于身体的人。对身体的认同即是“身见”(Dehabhimana)。对于那些执着于身体的人来说,不朽的梵(梵)是极难达到的。此外,将不安的心意专注于无形无属性的梵(梵)是极其困难的。对不朽、无属性梵(梵)的沉思需要非常敏锐、专注和精微的智慧。《奥义书》说:“它被精微的见者通过他们精微的智慧所见。”(Drisyate tu agraya buddhya sukshmaya sukshmadarsibhih)冥想无形梵(梵)的人应具备四种资粮。然后,他必须亲近一位精通经典并已安住于梵(梵)的古鲁(上师)。他必须从古鲁(上师)那里听闻真理,然后反思并冥想它。领悟无属性(Nirguna)梵(梵)的人获得永恒的极乐或自性(阿特曼)觉悟,或“解脱”(Kaivalya/Moksha),这以无明及其影响的毁灭为前提。领悟有属性(Saguna)梵(梵)的人则前往梵天界(Brahmaloka),享受主的所有财富和力量。然后,他从金胎(Hiranyagarbha)那里获得绝对真理的奥秘启示,无需任何努力,也无需听闻、反思和冥想的练习,仅凭主的恩典,便能达到与那些领悟无属性梵(梵)的人相同的境界。通过对自性(阿特曼)的认知,无明及其影响在有属性梵(梵)的崇拜者那里也会被摧毁。
Worshippers of the Saguna (alified) and the Nirguna (unalified) Brahman reach the same goal. But the latter path is very hard and arduous? because the aspirant has to give up attachment to the body from the very beginning of his spiritual practice.The embodied Those who identify themselves with their bodies. Identification with the body is Dehabhimana. The imperishable Brahman is very hard to reach for those who are attached to their bodies. Further? it is extremely difficult to fix the resltess mind on the formless and attributeless Brahman. Contemplation on the imperishable? attributeless Brahman demands a very sharp? onepointed and subtle intellect. The Upanishad says Drisyate tu agraya buddhya sukshmaya sukshmadarsibhih -- It is seen by subtle seers through their subtle intellect.He who meditates on the unmanifested should possess the four means. Then he will have to approach a Guru who is well versed in the scriptures and who is also established in Brahman. He will have to hear the Truth from him? then reflect and meditate on It.He who realises the Nirguna (attributeless) Brahman attains eternal bliss or Selfrealisation or Kaivalya (Moksha) which is preceded by the destruction of ignorance with its effects. He who realises the Saguna Brahman (Brahman with attributes) goes to Brahmaloka and enjoys all the wealth and powers of the Lord. He then gets initiation into the mysteries of the Absolute from Hiranyagarbha and without any effort and without the practice of hearing? reflection and meditation attains? through the grace of the Lord alone? the same state as attained by those who have realised the Nirguna Brahman. Through the knowledge of the Self? ignorance and its effects,are destroyed in the case of the worshippers of the Saguna Brahman also.
