Śrī Vasiṣṭha said: This essential reality (tattva) of the Absolute (brahma) is, in every respect, always, and everywhere, all-powerful (sarvaśakti), all-formed, the supreme controller (sarveśvara), all-pervading, and truly everything.
एष त्वात्मा सर्वशक्तित्वाच्च
क्वचिच्चिच्छक्तिं प्रकटयति क्वचिच्छान्तिं
क्वचिज्जडशक्तिं क्वचिदुल्लासं
क्वचित्किंचिन्न किंचित्प्रकटयति ॥ २ ॥
क्वचिच्चिच्छक्तिं प्रकटयति क्वचिच्छान्तिं

eṣa tvātmā sarvaśaktitvācca

kvacijjaḍaśaktiṃ kvacidullāsaṃ
kvacitkiṃcinna kiṃcitprakaṭayati 2
kvaciccicchaktiṃ prakaṭayati kvacicchāntiṃ

2.
eṣa tu ātmā sarva-śaktitvāt ca kvacit
cit-śaktim prakaṭayati kvacit śāntim
kvacit jaḍa-śaktim kvacit ullāsam
kvacit kiñcit na kiñcit prakaṭayati
cit-śaktim prakaṭayati kvacit śāntim
kvacit jaḍa-śaktim kvacit ullāsam
kvacit kiñcit na kiñcit prakaṭayati
2.
eṣa tu ātmā sarva-śaktitvāt ca kvacit
cit-śaktim prakaṭayati kvacit śāntim
kvacit jaḍa-śaktim kvacit ullāsam
kvacit kiñcit na kiñcit prakaṭayati
cit-śaktim prakaṭayati kvacit śāntim
kvacit jaḍa-śaktim kvacit ullāsam
kvacit kiñcit na kiñcit prakaṭayati
2.
But this Self (ātman), being all-powerful (sarvaśakti), sometimes manifests its power of consciousness (cit-śakti), sometimes peace, sometimes its inert power (jaḍa-śakti), sometimes joy, and at other times, it manifests something or nothing at all.
यत्र यदा यदेवासौ यथा भावयति तत्र
तदा तदेवासौ प्रपश्यति ॥ ३ ॥
तदा तदेवासौ प्रपश्यति ॥ ३ ॥
yatra yadā yadevāsau yathā bhāvayati
tatra tadā tadevāsau prapaśyati 3
tatra tadā tadevāsau prapaśyati 3
3.
yatra yadā yat eva asau yathā bhāvayati
tatra tadā tat eva asau prapaśyati
tatra tadā tat eva asau prapaśyati
3.
asau yatra yadā yathā yat eva bhāvayati
tatra tadā asau tat eva prapaśyati
tatra tadā asau tat eva prapaśyati
3.
Wherever, whenever, and in whatever way that Self (ātman) conceives (bhāvayati) something, there and then, that Self (ātman) itself perceives that very thing.
सर्वशक्तेर्हि या यैव
यथोदेति तथैव सा ॥ ४ ॥
यथोदेति तथैव सा ॥ ४ ॥
sarvaśakterhi yā yaiva
yathodeti tathaiva sā 4
yathodeti tathaiva sā 4
4.
sarvaśakteḥ hi yā yā eva
yathā udeti tathā eva sā
yathā udeti tathā eva sā
4.
sarvaśakteḥ yā yā eva hi
yathā udeti tathā eva sā
yathā udeti tathā eva sā
4.
Indeed, whatever power (śakti) of the All-powerful (Brahman) manifests, it is that very power precisely as it arises.
तदास्ति शक्तिर्नानारूपिणी सा
स्वभावत इमाः शक्तयोऽयमात्मेति ॥ ५ ॥
स्वभावत इमाः शक्तयोऽयमात्मेति ॥ ५ ॥
tadāsti śaktirnānārūpiṇī sā
svabhāvata imāḥ śaktayo'yamātmeti 5
svabhāvata imāḥ śaktayo'yamātmeti 5
5.
tadā asti śaktiḥ nānārūpiṇī sā
svabhāvataḥ imāḥ śaktayaḥ ayam ātman iti
svabhāvataḥ imāḥ śaktayaḥ ayam ātman iti
5.
tadā sā śaktiḥ nānārūpiṇī svabhāvataḥ
asti imāḥ śaktayaḥ ayam ātman iti
asti imāḥ śaktayaḥ ayam ātman iti
5.
Then, that power (śakti) is inherently (svabhāvataḥ) multifaceted. These powers (śakti) are indeed this very self (ātman).
एवं विकल्पजालं व्यवहारार्थं धीमद्भिः
परिकल्पितं लोके नत्वात्मनि विद्यते भेदः ॥ ६ ॥
परिकल्पितं लोके नत्वात्मनि विद्यते भेदः ॥ ६ ॥
evaṃ vikalpajālaṃ vyavahārārthaṃ dhīmadbhiḥ
parikalpitaṃ loke natvātmani vidyate bhedaḥ 6
parikalpitaṃ loke natvātmani vidyate bhedaḥ 6
6.
evam vikalpajālam vyavahārārtham dhīmadbhiḥ
parikalpitam loke na tu ātmani vidyate bhedaḥ
parikalpitam loke na tu ātmani vidyate bhedaḥ
6.
evam vikalpajālam dhīmadbhiḥ vyavahārārtham
loke parikalpitam tu ātmani bhedaḥ na vidyate
loke parikalpitam tu ātmani bhedaḥ na vidyate
6.
Thus, this network of conceptual distinctions (vikalpa-jāla) is contrived by the wise for the purpose of worldly interaction (vyavahāra) in the empirical realm, but no distinction (bheda) actually exists in the self (ātman).
यथोर्मितरङ्गपयसां सागरे कटकाङ्गदकेयूरैर्वा हेम्नः ।
अवयवावयविनोः संवित्काल्पनिकी द्विता न वास्तवी ॥ ७ ॥
अवयवावयविनोः संवित्काल्पनिकी द्विता न वास्तवी ॥ ७ ॥
yathormitaraṅgapayasāṃ sāgare kaṭakāṅgadakeyūrairvā hemnaḥ ,
avayavāvayavinoḥ saṃvitkālpanikī dvitā na vāstavī 7
avayavāvayavinoḥ saṃvitkālpanikī dvitā na vāstavī 7
7.
yathā ūrmitarangapayasām sāgare kaṭakāṅgadakeyūraiḥ vā
hemnaḥ avayavāvayavinoḥ saṃvit kālpanikī dvitā na vāstavī
hemnaḥ avayavāvayavinoḥ saṃvit kālpanikī dvitā na vāstavī
7.
yathā sāgare ūrmitarangapayasām vā hemnaḥ kaṭakāṅgadakeyūraiḥ
avayavāvayavinoḥ saṃvit dvitā kālpanikī na vāstavī
avayavāvayavinoḥ saṃvit dvitā kālpanikī na vāstavī
7.
Just as waves, ripples, and water are intrinsically (part of) the ocean, or bangles, armlets, and bracelets are (made of) gold; similarly, the perceived duality (dvitā) between the part (avayava) and the whole (avayavin) is merely conceptual (kālpanikī), not truly real (vāstavī).
यथा यच्चेत्यते हि तथैव तन्न बाह्यतो
नान्तरतश्चैतत्समुदेति हि ॥ ८ ॥
नान्तरतश्चैतत्समुदेति हि ॥ ८ ॥
yathā yaccetyate hi tathaiva tanna
bāhyato nāntarataścaitatsamudeti hi 8
bāhyato nāntarataścaitatsamudeti hi 8
8.
yathā yat cetyate hi tathā eva tat na
bāhyataḥ na antarataḥ ca etat samudeti hi
bāhyataḥ na antarataḥ ca etat samudeti hi
8.
hi yat yathā cetyate tat tathā eva na
bāhyataḥ na antarataḥ ca hi etat samudeti
bāhyataḥ na antarataḥ ca hi etat samudeti
8.
Indeed, just as whatever is cognized, that (cognition) does not truly arise from external sources nor from internal ones. Rather, this (cognition) itself simply manifests.
सर्वात्मत्वात्समाभासं
क्वचित्किंचित्प्रपश्यति ॥ ९ ॥
क्वचित्किंचित्प्रपश्यति ॥ ९ ॥
sarvātmatvātsamābhāsaṃ
kvacitkiṃcitprapaśyati 9
kvacitkiṃcitprapaśyati 9
9.
sarvātmatvāt samābhāsam
kvacit kiñcit prapaśyati
kvacit kiñcit prapaśyati
9.
sarvātmatvāt kvacit kiñcit
samābhāsam prapaśyati
samābhāsam prapaśyati
9.
Because everything has the intrinsic nature of the Self (ātman), one perceives certain things as appearing uniformly.
सर्वाकारमयं ब्रह्मैवेदं ततं मिथ्याज्ञानवद्भिः
शक्तिशक्तिमत्त्वे अवयवावयविरूपे कल्पिते न पारमार्थिके ॥ १० ॥
शक्तिशक्तिमत्त्वे अवयवावयविरूपे कल्पिते न पारमार्थिके ॥ १० ॥

śaktiśaktimattve avayavāvayavirūpe kalpite na pāramārthike 10
10.
sarvākāramayam brahma eva idam tatam mithyājñānavadbhiḥ
śaktiśaktimattve avayavāvayavirūpe kalpite na pāramārthike
śaktiśaktimattve avayavāvayavirūpe kalpite na pāramārthike
10.
idam sarvākāramayam brahma eva tatam.

na pāramārthike.
śaktiśaktimattve avayavāvayavirūpe mithyājñānavadbhiḥ kalpite,
na pāramārthike.
10.
This "brahman" itself, which consists of all forms, is pervasive. The notions of power (śakti) and its possessor, and of part and whole, are imagined by those possessing false knowledge, and are not ultimately real.
सद्वा भवत्वसद्वा चिद्यत्संकल्पयत्यभिनिविशति
तत्तत्पश्यति सकला तत्सद्ब्रह्मैव चिद्भाति ॥ ११ ॥
तत्तत्पश्यति सकला तत्सद्ब्रह्मैव चिद्भाति ॥ ११ ॥
sadvā bhavatvasadvā cidyatsaṃkalpayatyabhiniviśati
tattatpaśyati sakalā tatsadbrahmaiva cidbhāti 11
tattatpaśyati sakalā tatsadbrahmaiva cidbhāti 11
11.
sat vā bhavatu asat vā cit yat saṃkalpayati abhiniviśati
tat tat paśyati sakalā tat sat brahma eva cit bhāti
tat tat paśyati sakalā tat sat brahma eva cit bhāti
11.
sat vā asat vā bhavatu,
cit yat saṃkalpayati abhiniviśati,
tat tat paśyati.
sakalā cit tat sat brahma eva bhāti.
cit yat saṃkalpayati abhiniviśati,
tat tat paśyati.
sakalā cit tat sat brahma eva bhāti.
11.
Whether it be real or unreal, whatever consciousness conceives and clings to, that very thing it perceives. That entire consciousness shines forth as nothing but the existent (sat) "brahman" itself.
