अहं सर्वस्य प्रभवो मत्तः सर्वं प्रवर्तते | इति मत्वा भजन्ते मां बुधा भावसमन्विताः
ahaṃ sarvasya prabhavo mattaḥ sarvaṃ pravartate . iti matvā bhajante māṃ budhā bhāvasamanvitāḥ
我是一切的源頭;萬物皆因我而運轉。智者們如此領悟,充滿熱忱地崇拜我。
I am the origin of all; everything moves on owing to Me. Realizing thus, the wise ones, filled with fervour, adore Me.
波浪源於水,依賴水,也消融於水。波浪唯一的依託是水。同樣地,整個世界唯一的依託是主。智者們領悟到這一點,感受到主的無所不在,便在所有地方以虔誠和愛意崇拜祂。至高者在所有國家和所有時代都是一樣的。祂是物質因和有效因。作為根本自性(Mulaprakriti)或無顯(Avyaktam),主是一切形式的源頭。主是最初的推動者。祂凝視著祂的神力(Sakti,創造力),整個世界便演化,各種形式也隨之運轉。世俗之人,既無敏銳也無微細的理智,只能通過肉眼看到變化的形式。他對內在的存在、基質、遍布一切的智慧或至福的意識一無所知。他被轉瞬即逝的形式所誘惑。他將希望和快樂寄託在這些短暫的形式上。他為它們而生,為它們而努力。當他擁有妻子和孩子時,他會歡欣鼓舞。如果這些形式消逝,他便會沉浸在悲傷中。但智者們卻不斷地安住於至高者——一切的源頭和生命——並享受不朽的內在自我(Atman)的永恆至福,儘管周圍的一切形式都在變化和消逝。他們在瑜伽(Yoga)中堅定不移。他們被賦予不動搖的瑜伽(Yoga)。他們在瑜伽(Yoga)中登基。他們在沉思中崇拜至高者,並享受無分別三摩地(Nirvikalpa Samadhi)中難以言喻的至福。至高梵(Para Brahman),亦稱瓦蘇戴瓦(Vaasudeva),是整個世界的源頭。從祂獨自演化出整個世界及其所有變化,即存在(Sthiti)、毀滅(Nasa)、行為(Kriya)、果報(Phala)和享受(Bhoga)。智者們如此理解,便崇拜至高存在,並投入對絕對者的深度冥想。
Waves originate in water? depend on water and dissolve in water. The only support for the waves is water. Even so the only support for the whole world is the Lord. Realising this? feeling the omnipresence of the Lord? the wise worship Him with devotion and affection in all places. The Supreme is the same in all countries and at all times. He is the material and the efficient cause.As Mulaprakriti or Avyaktam the Lord is the source of all forms. The Lord is the primum mobile. He gazes at His Sakti (creative power) and the whole world evolves and the forms move. The worldly man who has neither sharp nor subtle intellect beholds the changing forms only through the fleshly eyes. He has no idea of the Indwelling Presence? the substratum? the allpervading intelligence or the blissful consciousness. He is allured by the passing forms. He fixes his hopes and joy on these transitory forms. He lives and exerts for them. He rejoices when he gets a wife and children. If these forms pass away he is drowned in sorrow. But the wise ones constantly dwell in the Supreme? the source and the life of all? and enjoy the eternal bliss of the immortal? inner Self? their own nondual Atman? albeit all these forms around them change and pass away. They are steadfast in Yoga. They are endowed with unshakable Yoga. They are enthroned in Yoga. They worship the Supreme in contemplation and enjoy the indescribable bliss of Nirvikalpa Samadhi.Para Brahman? known as Vaasudeva? is the source of the whole world. From Him alone evolves the whole world with all its changes? viz.? existence (Sthiti)? destruction (Nasa)? action (Kriya)? fruit (Phala) and enjoyment (Bhoga). Understanding thus? the wise adore the Supreme Being and engage themselves in profound meditation on the Absolute. (Cf.IX.10)
