________________ VIVEKACHUDAMANI न निरोधो न चोत्पत्तिर्न बद्धो न च साधकः । न मुमुक्षुर्न वै मुक्त इत्येषा परमार्थता ॥ ५७४ ॥ 574. There is neither death nor birth, neither a bound nor a struggling soul, neither a seeker after Liberation nor a liberated one,-this is the ultimate truth. 249 [This is a verbatim quotation from the Amritabindu Upanishad, Sloka ro. There is not much difference between — Sädhaka' and ' Mumukshu.' So long as there is the mind, there are all these distinctions, but the mind itself is a creation of Avidyâ. Hence the highest truth is that in which there is no relativity. ] सकलनिगमन्चूडास्वान्तसिद्धान्तरूपं . com परमिदमतिगुह्यं दर्शितं ते मयाद्य । अपगतकलिदोषं कामनिर्मु बुद्धि स्वसुतवद सकृत्त्वां भावयित्वा मुमुक्षुम् ॥ ५७५ ॥ 575. I have to-day repeatedly revealed to thee, as to one's own son, this excellent and profound secret,' which is the inmost purport of all Vedanta, the crest of the Vedas,-considering thee an aspirant after Liberation, purged of the taints of this Dark Age, and of a mind free from desires. [ 1Secret-the discrimination between the Real and the unreal, which is hidden from the vulgar man The teacher's address is finished here.] http://www.ApniHindi.com
