Section 2 95
ब्रह्म और ब्रह्माण्ड एक तथा अभिन्न हैं | Brahman and the universe are one and non-different
Summary (in English)
The slokas reflect fundamental Advaita Vedanta teachings that illustrate the concept of non-duality (advaita) and how duality (dvaita) is merely an illusion (māyā). The teachings emphasize that in ultimate reality, non-duality prevails, as declared by the scriptures (śruti), and this truth is directly experienced in the state of deep sleep (suṣupti), where the illusion of separation ceases. Using the rope-snake analogy, the slokas describe how our misconceptions sustain illusions, though the true underlying reality is singular (ananyatva). This understanding urges seekers to transcend illusions and realize the inherent oneness in all existence.
सारांश
ये श्लोक अद्वैत वेदांत की मूलभूत शिक्षाओं को दर्शाते हैं, जहाँ अद्वैत को वास्तविक और द्वैत को मात्र माया बताया गया है। शिक्षाएँ यह साफ करती हैं कि परमार्थ में अद्वैत ही है, जैसा कि श्रुति द्वारा बताया गया है, और यह सत्य गहरी निद्रा (सुषुप्ति) में प्रत्यक्ष अनुभव किया जाता है, जहाँ द्वैत का भ्रम समाप्त होता है। रज्जु-सर्प दृष्टांत का उपयोग करते हुए, श्लोक समझाते हैं कि कैसे हमारी भ्रांतियाँ भ्रानों को जीवित रखती हैं, यद्यपि वास्तविकता एक है (अनन्यत्व)। यह समझ आत्म-साक्षात्कार हेतु मुक्ति की ओर प्रेरित करती है।
