वैराग्य क्या है | What Is Renunciation?
Summary (in English)
This sloka explores the concept of vairāgya (dispassion) in Vedantic philosophy by defining it as the yearning to renounce all impermanent objects of enjoyment, from the physical body to the concept of Brahman itself, which are perceived through the senses like sight and hearing. The focus is on distinguishing between what is eternal and what is temporary, urging the practitioner to detach from worldly attractions and direct their energies toward understanding the imperishable self, known as Ātman.
सारांश
यह श्लोक वैराग्य की अवधारणा को स्पष्ट करता है, इसे इन्द्रियों द्वारा देखे और सुने जाने वाले सभी अस्थायी भोग-विलास की वस्तुओं को त्यागने की इच्छा के रूप में परिभाषित करता है, शरीर से लेकर ब्रह्म तक की। यहाँ शाश्वत और अस्थायी के बीच के अंतर को समझने और सांसारिक आकर्षणों से मुक्त होकर आत्मतत्त्व को पहचानने की दिशा में प्रयास करने पर जोर दिया गया है।
