VIVEKACŪDĀMANI
 
बाह्य निरुद्धे मनसः प्रसन्नता
मनःप्रसादे परमात्मदर्शनम् ।
तस्मिन्सुदृष्टे भववन्धनाशो
बहिनिरोव: पदवी विमुक्तेः ॥ ३३५ ॥
 
335. When the external world is shut out, the mind is
cheerful, and cheerfulness of the mind brings on the vision
of the Paramātman. When It is perfectly realized, the chain
of birth and death is broken. Hence the shutting out of
the external world is the stepping-stone to liberation.
 
कः पण्डितः सन्सदसद्विवेकी
श्रुतिप्रमाण: परमार्थदर्शी ।
जानन्हि कुर्यादसतोऽवलम्बं
स्वपातहेतोः शिशुवन्मुमुक्षुः ॥ ३३६ ॥
 
336. Where is the man who being learned, able to dis-
criminate the real from the unreal, believing the Vedas as
authority, fixing his gaze on the Atman, the Supreme
Reality, and being a seeker after liberation, will, likel a
child, consciously have recourse to the unreal (the universe)
which will cause his fall?

देहादिसंसक्तिमतो न मुक्ति-
र्मुक्तस्य देहाद्यभिमत्यभावः ।
सुप्तस्य नो जागरणं न जाग्रत:
स्वस्तयोभिन्न गुणाश्रयत्वात् ॥ ३३७ ॥
