योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-2, chapter-2, verse-6

स्वात्मतत्त्वाभिगमनं भवति प्रायशो नृणाम् ।
मुने विषयवैरस्यं कदर्थादुपजायते ॥ ६ ॥

svātmatattvābhigamanaṃ bhavati prāyaśo nṛṇām ,
mune viṣayavairasyaṃ kadarthādupajāyate 6

6. svātmatattvābhigamanam bhavati prāyaśaḥ nṛṇām
mune viṣayavairasyam kadarthāt upajāyate

6. mune nṛṇām prāyaśaḥ svātmatattvābhigamanam
bhavati viṣayavairasyam kadarthāt upajāyate

6. O sage (muni), for most people, the realization of the truth of the Self (ātman) eventually occurs. This is because a distaste for external objects (viṣaya) arises from the experience of their inherent worthlessness or from suffering (kadartha).

6. הו קדוש, אצל מרבית בני האדם, ההתקרבות אל אמת העצמי הפנימי מתרחשת רק לאחר שחוו סבל ואכזבות, אשר מולידים בהם סלידה מגירויי החושים.
