तेषामेवानुकम्पार्थमहमज्ञानजं तमः | नाशयाम्यात्मभावस्थो ज्ञानदीपेन भास्वता
teṣāmevānukampārthamahamajñānajaṃ tamaḥ . nāśayāmyātmabhāvastho jñānadīpena bhāsvatā
僅僅出於對他們的慈悲,我安住於他們的真我(Atman)中,以光明的「智慧之燈」(Jñāna Dīpa)摧毀那由無明(Ajñāna)所生的黑暗。
Out of compassion for them alone, I, residing in their hearts, destroy the darkness born of ignorance with the luminous lamp of Knowledge.
「智慧之燈」(Jñāna Dīpa)是指主安住於那些恆常思維祂的奉獻者心中,藉由「智慧之燈」摧毀因缺乏辨別力而生的無明(Ajñāna)之帷幕或黑暗。這盞燈由純粹奉獻的油滋養,由深層冥想的風吹拂,配有正確直覺的燈芯,透過恆常修持獨身、虔誠及其他神聖美德而生,安放於遠離世俗的心室中,置於遠離感官誘惑(從感官對象中抽離)且不受喜惡污染的心靈最深處,並藉由恆常冥想所生的「真我」(Atman)知識之光而閃耀。這盞燈無需任何工具、方法或修持來驅除黑暗。光的產生本身就足以驅散黑暗。一旦黑暗被光驅散,器皿、椅子及其他物品便清晰可見。同樣地,「真我」(Atman)知識的曙光本身就足以消除無明(Ajñāna)。無需其他「業」(Karma)或修持。當無明(Ajñāna)被「真我」(Atman)知識消除後,「梵」(Brahman)便以其原始榮耀獨自閃耀。
Luminous lamp of knowledge The Lord dwells in the heart of the devotees who constantly think of Him and destroys the veil or the darkness born of ignorance due to the absence of discrimination? by the luminous lamp of knowledge fed by the oil of pure devotion? fanned by the wind of profound meditation on Him? provided with the wick of right intuition? generated by the constant cultivation of celibacy? piety and other divine virtues held in the chambers of the heart free from worldliness? placed in the innermost recesses of the mind free from the wind of senseattractions (withdrawn from the objects of the senses) and untainted by likes and dislikes? and shining with the light of knowledge of the Self caused by the constant practice of meditation.The lamp is not in need of an instrument or means or any sort of practice for the removal of darkness. The generation of the light itself is ite sufficient to remove the darkness. As soon as the darkness is removed by the light? the pot? the chair and the other articles are seen. Even so the dawn of knowledge of the Self itself is ite sufficient to remove ignorance. No other Karma or,practice is necessary. After the ignorance is removed by the knowledge of the Self? Brahman alone shines in Its pristine glory.
