ब्रह्मभूतः प्रसन्नात्मा न शोचति न काङ्क्षति | समः सर्वेषु भूतेषु मद्भक्तिं लभते पराम्
brahmabhūtaḥ prasannātmā na śocati na kāṅkṣati . samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu madbhaktiṃ labhate parām
已成为梵(Brahman)并获得至福真我(Atman)者,不悲不欲。对一切众生平等相待,他便获得对我至高无上的虔诚(Bhakti)。
One who has become Brahman and has attained the blissful Self does not grieve or desire. Becoming the same towards all beings, he attains supreme devotion to Me.
梵布塔哈(Brahmabhuta):已达到梵(Brahman)的状态。他获得完美自由或与至高存在合一的境界将在下一节中描述。他心境宁静,处于平衡和泰然自若的状态。没有什么与小我(personality)相关的事物能让他悲伤或产生欲望。当达到这种状态时,万物的多样性逐渐消失,他处处只感知到合一。产生虚假知识的清醒和梦境意识也逐渐消逝。他不为身体的需求而悲伤。如果他未能实现这些需求,他也不会悲伤。他在成功和失败中始终保持心境的平衡。他对任何未获得的对象都没有渴望。“不悲不欲”(Na sochati na kankshati)也可解释为他既不悲伤也不狂喜。“对一切众生平等”(Samah sarveshu bhuteshu)也可指他设身处地为他人着想,感受他人的痛苦。如果有人处于极度痛苦或困境中,他自己也会感到受影响。他的心非常温柔柔软,他极其富有同情心和慈悲心。他认为所有众生的快乐和痛苦都是他自己的。如果他人欢喜,他也欢喜;如果他人痛苦,他也痛苦。他的心胸如此开阔,以至于他能感受所有众生。嫉妒、心胸狭隘、小气、分离的观念、所有将人与人隔开的障碍、各种偏见以及对其他人的厌恶——所有这些都完全消失了。他拥有宇宙之爱,是宇宙的恩人,是所有人的朋友。这种扩展的状态无法言喻,必须亲自体验。这样一位奉献者或求道者,便获得对我至高无上的虔诚(Bhakti),即第七章第16节中提到的四种虔诚(Bhakti)中的第四种或最高一种,即智者的知识虔诚(Bhakti)。(参阅第二章第70节)
Brahmabhutah Having attained to Brahman. His attainment of perfect freedom or oneness with the Supreme is described in the next verse.He is tranilminded. He is in a state of balance and eanimity. There is nothing connected with the little personality that may cause him to grieve or prompt him to feel desire. When this state is attained? the multiplicity of objects gradually disappears and he perceives only unity everywhere. The waking and dream consciousness that gives rise to false knowledge gradually passes away.He does not grieve about his bodily wants. If he fails in his attempt to fulfil them? he does not grieve either. He always keeps evenness of mind in success and failure. He has no longing for any object that is not attained.Na sochati na kankshati can also be interpreted as he neither grieves nor exults.Samah sarveshu bhuteshu may also mean he puts himself in the position of others and feels for others. If anyone is in acute agony or distress? he himself feels that he is affected. His heart is very tender and soft. He is extremely compassionate and merciful. He considers that the pleasure and pain of all beings are his own. If others rejoice he also rejoices if others are in distress? he also is distressed. His heart is so much expanded that he feels for all. Jealousy? narrowness of heart? pettymindedness? the idea of separateness? all barriers that separate man from man? prejudices of all sorts and dislike for others -- all vanished in toto. He has cosmic love. He is a cosmic benefactor. He is the friend of all. This state of expansion is beyond description. One has to experience it for oneself. Such a devotee or aspirant attains supreme devotion to Me? the fourth or the highest of the four kinds of devotion mentioned in verse 16 of chapter VII? viz.? devotion of knowledge of the man of wisdom.
