喔,古達凱沙啊,我是居於一切眾生心中的「阿特曼」(Atman),我是一切眾生的開始、中間,以及終結。
O Gudakesa, I am the Self residing in the hearts of all beings, and I am the beginning and the middle as also the end of (all) beings.
古達凱沙 (Gudakesa) 意為「睡眠的征服者」或「濃密頭髮者」。我是居於一切眾生心中的內在「阿特曼」(Pratyagatma),也是一切受造物的起源、維繫與終結。我即是一切眾生的生、住、滅。應將我視為最內在的「阿特曼」來冥想。能夠以「無差別觀」(Abheda Bhavana) 冥想「阿特曼」者,是第一等的修行者。無法如此冥想者,應在以下提及的事物中思維主。此類冥想適用於中等根器的修行者。
O Gudakesa I am the soul (Pratyagatma) which exists in the hearts of all beings and I am also the source or origin? the middle or stay? and the end of all created beings. I am the birth? the life and the death of all beings. Meditate on Me as the innermost Self.Gudakesa means either coneror of sleep or thickhaired.He who is able to meditate on the Self with Abheda Bhavana (attitude of nonduality)? is a alified aspirant (Adhikari) of the first class. He who is not able to meditate on the Self should think of the Lord in those things which are mentioned below. This type of meditation is for the aspirants of the middle class.
