न प्रहृष्येत्प्रियं प्राप्य नोद्विजेत्प्राप्य चाप्रियम् | स्थिरबुद्धिरसम्मूढो ब्रह्मविद् ब्रह्मणि स्थितः
na prahṛṣyetpriyaṃ prāpya nodvijetprāpya cāpriyam . sthirabuddhirasammūḍho brahmavid brahmaṇi sthitaḥ
一位知梵者,安住於梵中,應當心智堅定,不為迷惑。他不應因獲得所欲而歡喜,亦不應因遭遇不欲而沮喪。
A knower of Brahman, who is established in Brahman, should have his intellect steady and should not be deluded. He should not get delighted by getting what is desirable, nor become dejected by getting what is undesirable.
這是生而解脫者(Jivanmukta)、解脫聖者或婆羅門的境界,他將自己與自我(Atman)合一。他始終保持心意平衡,從不迷惑。他已捨棄一切行動,因為他安住於梵中。那些心意不平衡、將自己與身心認同的人,在獲得愉悅之物時會感到快樂和興奮,在遭遇不悅之物時則會感到悲傷。(參見《薄伽梵歌》第六章第21、27、28節;第十三章第12節;第十四章第20節)
This is the state of a Jivanmukta or a liberated sage or a Brahmana who identifies himself with the Self or Atman. He always has a balanced mind. He is never deluded. He has abandoned all actions as he rests in Brahman. He who has an unbalanced mind? who identifies himself with the body and mind feels pleasure and pain? exhilaration of spirits when he gets a pleasant object and grief when he obtains an unpleasant object. (Cf.VI.21?27?28XIII.12XIV.20)
