यत्तदग्रे विषमिव परिणामेऽमृतोपमम् | तत्सुखं सात्त्विकं प्रोक्तमात्मबुद्धिप्रसादजम्
yattadagre viṣamiva pariṇāme.amṛtopamam . tatsukhaṃ sāttvikaṃ proktamātmabuddhiprasādajam
那种在开始时如毒药,但在结果时如甘露,并源于自我智慧的清净的快乐,被称为悦性(sattva)的快乐。
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.
最初如毒药:在开始时伴随着许多痛苦,因为一个人必须放弃感官对象和舒适,并进行严格的苦行和严苛的修行(Sadhana)。当他实践制戒(Yama)、内制(Niyama)、苦行(Tapas)和各种其他誓愿时,他必须经历严峻的考验。他必须培养对感官享乐的超然或漠不关心。这最初给他带来很多痛苦。专注和冥想的练习在开始时也带来痛苦。制服感官也非常麻烦。马钱子(Nux vomica)非常苦。当一个人服用含有马钱子的混合物时,会感到很不舒服。但最终,当他恢复活力和良好的食欲,并且消化不良得到治愈时,他会获得极大的快乐。同样,修行者最终饮下不朽的甘露,获得最高的知识,尽情地在真我(Self)中欢欣,享受至高无上的和平和永恒的幸福。被宣称(Proktam):智者所宣称的。源于自我觉悟所致的心意清净(Atmabuddhiprasadajam):源于自身智慧的纯净,或源于对梵(Brahman)或不朽、自发光、永恒、至高无上的真我(Self)或绝对(Absolute)的直接、完美和清晰的知识。当个体自我(individual self)实现与最高自我(highest Self)的结合时,它会体验到悦性(Sattvic)的幸福。由此产生的快乐是悦性(Sattvic)的。(参见第6章第1、2节)
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)
