यत्तदग्रे विषमिव परिणामेऽमृतोपमम् | तत्सुखं सात्त्विकं प्रोक्तमात्मबुद्धिप्रसादजम्
yattadagre viṣamiva pariṇāme.amṛtopamam . tatsukhaṃ sāttvikaṃ proktamātmabuddhiprasādajam
那最初如毒藥,最終卻如甘露,並源於自我智慧的純淨的快樂——那種快樂被稱為屬於悅性(Sattva)的。
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.
最初如毒藥:在開始時伴隨著許多痛苦,因為一個人必須放棄感官對象和舒適,並實踐嚴格的苦行和嚴謹的修行(Sadhana)。當他實踐制戒(Yama)、內制(Niyama)、苦行(Tapas)和各種其他誓願時,他必須經歷嚴峻的考驗。他必須培養對感官享樂的無欲或漠不關心。這最初會給他帶來許多痛苦。專注和冥想的練習在開始時也會帶來痛苦。制服感官也非常麻煩。馬錢子(Nux vomica)非常苦。當一個人服用含有馬錢子的混合物時,會感到非常不適。但最終,當他獲得活力和良好的食慾,並且他的消化不良得到治癒時,他會獲得許多快樂。同樣,修行者最終飲用不朽的甘露,獲得最高的知識,盡情地在自我中喜樂,並享受至高無上的和平與永恆的幸福。Proktam 被宣說:智者所宣稱。Atmabuddhiprasadajam 源於自我證悟而來的純淨心智:源於一個人自身智慧的純淨,或源於對梵(Brahman)或不朽、自發光、永恆、至高無上的自我(Self)或絕對者的直接、完美和清晰的知識。當個體自我實現與最高自我的結合時,它會體驗到悅性(Sattvic)的快樂。如此產生的快樂是悅性(Sattvic)的。(參見第六章第1、2節)
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)
