Verses

  1. Verse 1

    yato vāco nivartante | aprāpya manasā saha | ānandaṃ brahmaṇo vidvān | na bibheti kutaścaneti | etaṃha vāva na tapati | kimahaṃsādhu nākaravam | kimahaṃ pāpamakaravamiti | sa ya evaṃ vidvānete ātmāna spṛṇute | ubhe hyevaiṣa ete ātmāna spṛṇute | ya evaṃ veda | ityupaniṣat || 1||

    Meaning

    That from which words turn back, together with the mind, unable to reach it — he who knows that bliss of Brahman fears nothing whatsoever. Such a one is not tormented by the thoughts 'Why did I not do the good? Why did I do the evil?' He who knows this regards both these as the Self; indeed he cherishes both these as the Self. Such, indeed, is the secret teaching (upanishad).
