श्रीराम उवाच ।
युक्तिः स्यात्कीदृशी ब्रह्मन्संसारे दुःखशान्तये ।
तेषां येषामयं पक्षः श्रूयतामुच्यतां ततः ॥ १ ॥
śrīrāma uvāca ,

1. śrī-rāma uvāca yuktiḥ syāt kīdṛśī brahman saṃsāre
duḥkha-śāntaye teṣām yeṣām ayam pakṣaḥ śrūyatām ucyatām tataḥ
1. śrī-rāma uvāca: brahman,
saṃsāre duḥkha-śāntaye kīdṛśī yuktiḥ syāt? (He) teṣām yeṣām ayam pakṣaḥ (asti),
tataḥ śrūyatām ucyatām.
1. Śrī Rāma said: O Brahmana, what kind of reasoning (yukti) should be adopted to alleviate suffering (duḥkha) in the cycle of transmigration (saṃsāra)? Please listen to and explain the perspective (pakṣa) of those whose view this is.
1. רָאמָה אמר: בְּרַהְמָן, איזו שיטה יכולה להביא להרגעת הסבל בסבך הקיום התופעתי עבור אלה האוחזים בתפיסה הבאה? הקשב לה ולאחר מכן אמור את דעתך.

bhasmībhūtasya śāntasya punaḥ āgamanam kutaḥ (syāt)?
2. One should live happily as long as one is alive. Death is not beyond observation. Once reduced to ashes and pacified, from where could there be a return?
2. כל עוד אדם חי, מוטב שיחיה באושר, שהרי אין אדם שיכול להתחמק מהמוות. כיצד יחזור מי שנהפך לאפר ונעלם?

tat tat tathā eva sarvagam pratyakṣam iti anubhavati.
3. Śrī Vasiṣṭha said: Whatever firm conviction (niścaya) the unbroken consciousness (saṃvit) within firmly holds, that very thing it directly experiences (pratyakṣam), as it is all-pervading (sarvagam).
3. וַסִישְׁטְהָה אמר: כל החלטה נחרצת שההכרה הפנימית מאמצת בתוכה, אותה היא חווה באופן ישיר, שהרי התודעה נמצאת בכל.

यथा खं सर्वगं शान्तं तथा चिद्व्योम सर्वगम् ।

tathā cit-vyoma sarvagam tat eva aikyam,
atha (tat eva) dvaitam (ca),
anya-arthasya aty-asambhavāt
4. Just as space (kha) is all-pervading and peaceful, so too is the all-pervading space of consciousness (cid-vyoma). That alone is oneness (ekatva), and even duality (dvaita) ultimately stems from it, because the existence of any separate entity is absolutely impossible.
4. כשם שהחלל נמצא בכל ושקט, כך מרחב התודעה נמצא בכל. האחדות והריבוי אינם אלא אותה תודעה, שכן קיומו של דבר אחר אינו אפשרי כלל.

5. sarga-ādau tat ṛte anyaḥ arthaḥ mahāpralaya-rūpiṇi na asti eva akāraṇatvāt (ca),
ataḥ idam brahma eva tatam
5. At the beginning of creation, apart from that (Brahman), no other entity (artha) exists, not even in the state of a great dissolution (mahāpralaya). Due to [Brahman's] causeless nature (akāraṇatva), nothing else exists at all. Therefore, this entire [universe] is Brahman (brahman) alone, pervaded by it.
5. בראשית הבריאה, כמו גם בזמן ההתפרקות הכללית, אין דבר מלבד בְּרַהְמָן. מכיוון שאין כל סיבה ראשונית אחרת, כל מה שנפרש כאן אינו אלא בְּרַהְמָן עצמו.

6. ye samasta-veda-śāstra-artham mahāpralaya-ādi ca na icchanti,

niḥśāstrāḥ,

6. Those who do not accept the essence of all Vedas and śāstras, including concepts like great dissolution (mahāpralaya) and so forth, those greatly deluded individuals are without scriptural authority and are as if dead.
6. אלה שאינם מקבלים את משמעות הכתבים ואת דבר ההתפרקות הכללית הם כסילים גמורים; הם נותרו ללא תורה ומורי דרך, ונחשבים כמעט כמו מתים.

7. A [true] knower (yoktṛ) [declares that] all this is Brahman (brahman); this truth is sufficiently established without contradiction by all scriptures and confirmed by direct experience (anubhava). For those who [have such realization], no sequence of discussion is necessary.
7. אין צורך לנהל דיון עם אלה שאינם מקבלים את האמת המוסכמת על כל הכתבים והמוכחת בניסיון הישיר – שהכול הוא בְּרַהְמָן.

8. yādṛśī nityā nirantara saṃvid āśaye udeti,
puṃsā tatmayena eva bhūyate.
dehaḥ astu athavā mā.
8. Whatever kind of consciousness (saṃvid) continuously and eternally arises within the mind, a person becomes fully absorbed in that alone. Whether the body exists or not is irrelevant.
8. כפי שההכרה עולה ברציפות במעמקי הנפש, כך האדם הופך למזוהה איתה לחלוטין, בין אם יש לו גוף ובין אם לאו.

aṅga yāvat viruddham vedanam (asti) tāvat jīvaḥ tatmayaḥ (bhavati).
9. If a person (puruṣa) becomes unhappy due to the arising of consciousness (saṃvid) or understanding (bodha), then, O dear one, as long as there is that conflicting perception (vedana), the individual soul (jīva) remains identified with it.
9. אם מתעוררת תחושת נפרדות מתוך המודעות, האדם הופך לסובל. כל עוד קיימת תפיסה מוטעית ומנוגדת, הו בני, היצור החי נשאר כבול אליה.

10. jagat citvyomakacanamātram eva iti bhāvite,
tat katham vyomnā vedanam bhavet? kasya bodhaḥ kutaḥ bhavet?
10. When it is considered that the universe (jagat) is merely a manifestation of consciousness (cit) as space (vyoma), then how can there be perception (vedana) by space? Whose understanding (bodha) would arise, and from where?
10. כאשר מבינים שהעולם אינו אלא ההשתקפות של מרחב התודעה, כיצד ייתכן סבל במרחב זה? של מי הוא יהיה ומאיפה יגיע?

11. ekaniscayasaṃvidām puṃsām (kṛte) kānicit sukhāni दुःखानि na pradhāvanti,
nabhāsām rajāṃsi iva.
11. For persons whose consciousness (saṃvid) is of a single, unwavering resolve, neither pleasures nor pains affect them, just as dust particles do not cling to the skies.
11. אצל אלה שהכרתם ממוקדת בהבנה אחת ויחידה, לא השמחות ולא הצער משפיעים עליהם, כשם שאבק אינו מלכלך את השמים.

12. Whether consciousness (saṃvit) is real or unreal, this much is certain: its existence is well-established universally, even among children. By whom and how can this be denied?
12. בין אם ההכרה אמתית ובין אם היא אשליה, כוחה של ההחלטה הפנימית הוא כזה; דבר זה מוכר לכול, מילד ועד זקן, ומי יכול להכחיש זאת?

13. dehaḥ vā api puruṣaḥ vā api anyaḥ jīvaḥ na upalabhyate.
saṃvit idam sarvam.
sā tu yathā vetti tathā jagat (asti).
13. No body, no supreme cosmic person (puruṣa), nor any other individual soul (jīva) is perceived as separate or distinct. All this (world) is consciousness (saṃvit) itself; and the world (jagat) is exactly as that consciousness (saṃvit) perceives it.
13. אין למצוא גוף, אדם או יצור חי הנפרדים מן ההכרה. ההכרה היא הכול; וכפי שהיא תופסת את הדברים, כך מופיע העולם.

14. Whether that (consciousness/saṃvit) is real or unreal, the body is experienced by it (consciousness/saṃvit) with full autonomy, just as one experiences things in a dream, or in the underworld, in the sky, in water, or in heaven.
14. בין אם ההכרה אמתית ובין אם אשליה, דרכה נחווה הגוף בחופשיות – כמו בחלום, בעולם התחתון, באוויר, במים או בשמים.

pumān tāvat mātraḥ smṛtaḥ.
saḥ yathā niścayaḥ nūnam tat satyam iti (eva) niścayaḥ (asti).
15. Whether consciousness (saṃvit) is real or unreal, the individual (puruṣa) is understood to be only that. Indeed, this is the firm conclusion: whatever one determines (to be real), that truly is real.
15. בין אם ההכרה אמתית ובין אם לא, האדם מוגדר על פי תפיסתו בלבד. מה שהוא משוכנע בו בתוכו – זה מה שנחווה עבורו כאמת.

16. The validity of all scriptures (śāstras) is established by this very principle alone. This alone is the ultimate doctrine of all doctrines; such is my understanding.
16. תוקפם של כל כתבי הקודש מוכח בדיוק על פי עיקרון זה. לדעתי, זוהי המסקנה הסופית של כל התורות והפילוסופיות.

17. Therefore, that very lack of knowledge (abodha) of yours, which is indeed consciousness (saṃvid) itself, becomes untainted in its form, and similarly, it becomes capable of bearing fruit.
17. לפיכך, בורותך או ידיעתך תלויות באופיה של ההכרה שלך: ככל שצורתה זכה וטהורה יותר, כך תניב פירות בהתאם.

18. But that very lack of knowledge (abodha), which is consciousness (saṃvid) itself, is never destroyed by the delusions arising from place, time, action, substance, the Vedas, the scriptures (śāstras), and worldly desires.
18. הבורות הנובעת מבלבול לגבי מקום, זמן, פעולות, עצמים, תשוקות וכתבי הקודש – הכרה זו הנגועה בבורות אינה נעלמת מאליה לעולם.

20. Consciousness (saṃvit) itself is the animating principle (jīva) of human beings. Just as one's conviction (bhāvanā) is firm, so that person becomes happy or unhappy. This is the firm conclusion.
20. ההכרה עצמה היא נפש החיים של בני האדם. ככל שתפיסתה איתנה יותר לכיוון מסוים, כך יהיה האדם מאושר או סובל – זוהי קביעה ודאית.

21. If consciousness (saṃvit) exists, it is a refuge for those who understand it, enabling them to break free from the cycle of rebirth (saṃsāra). If it does not exist, then only a stone-like, inert blindness remains.
21. אם קיימת מודעות פנימית, עבור יודעי החוכמה היא משמשת מקלט לשבירת סבך הקיום. אם היא אינה קיימת, מה שנשאר הוא רק עיוורון ואלמות כמו של אבן.

22. And what is attained solely through that very consciousness (saṃvit), through knowledge itself - this inner inertia is overcome by the realization of one's intrinsic nature (dharma), just as sleep is overcome by a person.
22. מה שמושג באמצעות אותה הכרה עצמה ותפיסתה, הוא הגילוי של הטבע האמיתי, בעוד שקהות פנימית דומה לשנה עמוקה עבור האדם.
