Section 2 50
शुद्ध तथा मिश्रित सत्वगुण के कार्य | The functions of pure and mixed Sattva
Summary (in English)
The given set of slokas describe the roles and functions of *sattva* (purity) in its pure and mixed forms. Sloka 117 likens pure consciousness (śuddha-sattva) to water, which though pure, joins with worldly elements to create a reflective space where the self-illumination like the sun sheds light on the inert world. This illustrates how pure consciousness interacts with the material world, evoking wisdom and awareness. Sloka 118 discusses the attributes of mixed sattva, such as self-control, faith, and devotion, which facilitate spiritual evolution and liberation by cultivating divine virtues and freeing one from hardships. Sloka 119 elaborates on the characteristics of pure being (viśuddha-sattva), which includes clarity, self-awareness, peace, contentment, and eternal joy, leading to firm establishment in the supreme self and achieving eternal bliss.
सारांश
दिए गए श्लोकों का सेट शुद्ध और मिश्रित सत्त्वगुण के कार्यों का वर्णन करता है। श्लोक 117 शुद्ध चेतना ('शुद्धसत्त्व') की तुलना जल से करता है, जो स्वयं तो शुद्ध होता है, परंतु लौकिक तत्वों के साथ मिलकर एक प्रतिबिंबित स्थान रचता है जहाँ आत्मदर्शन सूर्य के समान निर्जीव जगत को उजागर करता है। यह दर्शाता है कि शुद्ध चेतना भौतिक जगत के साथ कैसे संवाद करती है, जिससे ज्ञान और जाग्रति होती है। श्लोक 118 मिश्रित सत्त्वगुण के लक्षणों जैसे आत्म-संयम, श्रद्धा और भक्ति को दर्शाता है, जो दिव्य गुणों को विकसित कर और कष्टों से मुक्त होकर आत्मिक विकास और मुक्ति को सुदृढ़ बनाते हैं। श्लोक 119 शुद्ध चेतना की विशेषताओं का उल्लेख करता है, जिसमें स्पष्टता, आत्म जागरूकता, शांति, संतोष और अनंत आनंद शामिल हैं, जो सर्वोच्च आत्म में स्थिरता और अनंत सुख प्राप्त करने की ओर ले जाते हैं।
