Chapter: 1, Verse: 28, 29
55
Bhuva: Only one soul is my eternal companion, the soul endowed with knowledge and vision. All other external things, like children, spouses, etc., are merely artificial associations, characterized by connection. The truth is that for those who are connected, separation is inevitable. ||27||
Soma: Only one soul is my eternal companion, the soul endowed with knowledge and vision. It is this soul that is truly mine. All other external things, like children, spouses, friends, relatives, etc., are merely artificial associations, characterized by connection. They are not eternal, for those who are connected, separation is inevitable. Therefore, they are not truly mine. ||27||
Bhuva: The suffering that arises from connection is experienced by the soul. Therefore, I renounce all connection with all my being. ||28||
Soma: Connection, in the form of relationships with children, spouses, friends, bodies, etc., is the root cause of suffering. This suffering, experienced by the soul, is in the form of countless hardships, such as birth, death, separation from loved ones, and undesirable connections. Therefore, I renounce all connection, all desire for association, with all my being, with my mind, speech, and body. ||28||
Bhuva: What about the root and auxiliary virtues that have been renounced? What about those that have been transgressed? The root virtues are non-violence, etc., and the auxiliary virtues are purity of body, etc. These root and auxiliary virtues, which I have not properly cultivated due to negligence and ignorance, I condemn and will strive to avoid in the future. ||29||
Soma: The root virtues are non-violence, etc., and the auxiliary virtues are purity of body, etc. These root and auxiliary virtues, which I have not properly cultivated due to negligence and ignorance, I condemn and will strive to avoid in the future. ||29||
