Section 2 102
द्वैत या नानात्व का पूर्णतः अभाव है | There is a complete absence of duality or multiplicity
Summary (in English)
These slokas collectively describe the essential nature of Brahman, as understood in Advaita Vedanta—a school of Hindu philosophy emphasizing non-duality. Brahman is depicted as *paripūrṇa* (complete), *anādi* (beginningless), *antam* (endless), *aprameyam* (immeasurable), *avikriyam* (changeless), *nirguṇa* (attributeless), *niṣkala* (partless), *sūkṣma* (subtle), and *nirañjana* (pure). Each sloka emphasizes that Brahman is *ekaṃ eva advayaṃ* (one without a second), highlighting the absence of duality or multiplicity (*nāna*). The texts encourage a pursuit of understanding that reality is singular despite the perceived multiplicity around us. These slokas aim to direct aspirants to transcend apparent divisions, guiding them toward the realization of an indivisible, eternal truth.
सारांश
ये श्लोक अद्वैत वेदांत के सिद्धांत के अनुसार ब्रह्म के विशेष स्वभाव का वर्णन करते हैं। यहां ब्रह्म को *परिपूर्ण* (पूर्ण), *अनादि* (अनिारींभ), *अनंत* (अंतहीन), *अप्रमेय* (अमाप्य), *अविक्रीय* (अपरिवर्तनशील), *निर्गुण* (गुणरहित), *निष्कल* (अखंड), *सूक्ष्म* (सूक्ष्म), और *निर्ञ्जन* (पवित्र) रूप में समझाया गया है। हर श्लोक में कहा गया है कि ब्रह्म *एकमेव अद्वयम* (अकेला एकवाद्वयम) है, जो द्वैत या बहुलता (*नाना*) का खंडन करता है। ये श्लोक यह संदेश देते हैं कि हमें perceived विभाजनों से आगे बढ़कर अद्वितीय, शाश्वत सत्य के एहसास की ओर अग्रसर होना चाहिए।
