समदुःखसुखः स्वस्थः समलोष्टाश्मकाञ्चनः | तुल्यप्रियाप्रियो धीरस्तुल्यनिन्दात्मसंस्तुतिः
samaduḥkhasukhaḥ svasthaḥ samaloṣṭāśmakāñcanaḥ . tulyapriyāpriyo dhīrastulyanindātmasaṃstutiḥ
他苦乐平等(samaduḥkhasukhaḥ),安住于自我(svasthaḥ),视土块、石头和黄金为等同(samaloṣṭāśmakāñcanaḥ),亲爱与不亲爱对他而言亦是等同(tulyapriyāpriyaḥ),他是智者(dhīraḥ),毁谤与赞美对他而言亦是等同(tulyanindātmasaṃstutiḥ)。
He to whom sorrow and happiness are alike, who is established in his own Self, to whom a lump of earth, iron and gold are the same, to whom the agreeable and the disagreeable are the same, who is wise, to whom censure and his own praise are the same;
昼夜对固定在地上的柱子毫无意义,同样,快乐和痛苦对安住于自我(Self)的圣者也毫无意义。他超越了二元对立。在他眼中,牛粪或黄金,珠宝或石头,都具有同等价值。他没有给予和获取的观念。他的心不被任何愉悦或不愉悦的事物所扰动。他对亲爱和不亲爱的事物一视同仁。赞美和指责都无法影响他。他坚定不移,安住于他作为存在-知识-极乐绝对(Existence-Knowledge-Bliss Absolute)的本质状态。他永远平静安详。(参见第五章第18节)
Night and day have no meaning to a post fixed in the ground. Even so pleasure and pain have no meaning to a sage who dwells in his own Self. He is above the pairs of opposites. In his eyes cowdung or gold? a jewel or a stone? are of eal value. He is free from the idea of,giving and taking. His mind is not perturbed by anything pleasant or unpleasant. He is the same towards agreeable and disagreeable things. Praise and censure cannot affect him. He stands adamant. He abides in his own essential state as ExistenceKnowledgeBliss Absolute. He is ever calm and serene. (Cf.V.18)
