मधु न मधुरं नैताः शीतास्त्विषस्तुहिनद्यतेरमृतममृतं नामैवास्याः फले तु मुधा सुधा । तदलममुना संरम्भेण प्रसीद सखे मनः,
फलमविकलं त्वय्येवंतत् प्रसादमुपेयुषि ॥५२॥ Meaning : In comparison with this fruit of indifference / equanimity honey does not seem to be sweet, moonlight does not appear to be soothing, ambrosia becomes insignificant only, and nectar looses its value. So, mind ! my friend, abandon all efforts that lead to sorrow. Be pleased with me; because perpetual bliss can be achieved only if you are happy.
सत्येतस्मिन्नरतिरतिदं गृह्यते वस्तु दूरादप्यासन्नेप्यसति तु मनस्याप्यते नैव किंचित् । पुंसामित्यप्यवगतवतामुन्मनीभावहेताविच्छा वाढं न भवति कथं सद्गुरूपासनायाम् ॥५३॥
Meaning : As long as the self is consciously involved it continues to experience pleasure and pain irrespective of being distant from the cause. The moment it is not consciously involved (indifferent) it does not experience pleasure or pain despite the proximity with the source. Pleasure and pain are dependent on the attitude of mind; they are not derived out of the physical indulgence. Why, then, the knower of this fact would not crave to please the Guru who is the guide towards equanimity or indifference ? He certainly would. ;
तांस्तानापरमेश्वरादपि परान् भावैः प्रसादं नयन्तैस्तैस्तत्तदुपायमढ भगवन्नात्मन् किमायास्यसि ।
