yat sva-saṃkalpa-antara-sthairyam iti mṛtiḥ abhidhīyate
1. Śrī Vasiṣṭha said: Death, whose nature is complete destruction, never truly exists. Rather, the persistence of one's own internal resolves is what is called death.
1. שְרִי וַסִישְטְהָה אמר: מוות במובן של כיליון מוחלט אינו קיים מעולם; ההתקבעות של הרעיון והדמיון הפנימי של האדם בלבד היא המכונה מוות.

2. paśya ime puraḥ arūḍhāḥ api dik-vātaiḥ
mandara-meravaḥ iva sarit-bimbita-śaila-vat uhyante
2. Behold! These cities appear to be carried away, as if Mount Mandara and Mount Meru themselves were being moved by the winds of the quarters, even though they are not physically dislodged or airborne. They are like mountains reflected in a river, appearing to move without actually doing so.
2. ראה, הרי מַנְדָרָה ו-מֵרוּ נראים כביכול נישאים לפנינו ברוחות השמיים, אף שאינם זזים ממקומם – בדיוק כמו בבואת הר המשתקפת במים הזורמים של נהר.

3. In space, the cycles of transmigration (saṃsṛtis) are situated one upon another, inwardly, like the layers of a banana leaf pedestal. Their nature is both clinging and non-clinging to each other.
3. כמו שכבות עלי הבננה, כך קיימים במרחב מעגלי קיום תופעתיים רבים, שכבה על גבי שכבה, צמודים אך נפרדים זה מזה.

5. Sage Vasistha said: "Within the vital breath (prāṇa) is the mind (citta), and within the mind (citta) exists the world (jagat), manifesting in various forms, just as a tree is contained within a seed."
5. שְרִי וַסִישְטְהָה אמר: בתוך פְרָאנָה (אנרגיית החיים) שוכנת החשיבה, ובתוך החשיבה שוכן העולם על צורותיו המגוונות, כמו עץ בתוך הזרע.

6. mṛte puṃsi prāṇa vāyavaḥ nabho vātaiḥ milanti hi
iva sarit jalaiḥ ātma drutāni ambhodhi jalāni
6. When a person dies, the vital breaths (prāṇa-vāyu) merge with the winds of the sky. Indeed, it is just like river waters merge with the ocean waters which are imbued with the self (ātman).
6. כאשר האדם מת, רוחות החיים שלו מתמזגות עם רוחות השמיים, בדיוק כפי שמימי הנהר הזורמים מתמזגים עם מי האוקיינוס.

7. And within these vital breaths (prāṇa-vāyu), the worlds (jagat) – whose nature is exclusively thought (saṅkalpa) – indeed move here and there, as if propelled by the winds of the sky.
7. כאשר רוחות אלה נדחפות על ידי הרוח שבחלל, העולמות המוכלים בהן – אף שהם עשויים מדמיון בלבד – נראים כנעים הנה והנה.

manasaḥ antaḥ jagat tile tailam iva sthitam (iti) viddhi
10. Understand that vital breaths (prāṇa) are as if inert within the cosmic wind (khavāta), the mind (manas) is within the vital breaths, and the world (jagat) is situated within the mind, just like oil resides within a sesame seed.
10. דע כי בתוך רוח החלל שוכנות רוחות החיים של הנפטר, בתוך רוחות החיים שוכנת החשיבה, ובתוך החשיבה שוכן העולם כולו, כמו שמן בתוך זרע שומשום.

tathā vai etāni jaganti api tat aṅgāni ohyante
11. Just as the vital breaths (prāṇa), which are mental (manomaya) and akin to space (kha), are carried by the cosmic winds (khavāta), so indeed are these worlds (jagat) and their constituent parts also carried.
11. כפי שרוחות החיים, שהן מופשטות כחלל ומורכבות ממחשבות, נישאות ברוחות החלל, כך נישאים עימן גם העולמות המהווים את איבריהן.

13. Those (worlds) are perceived only by the intellect (buddhi), O joy of the Raghu dynasty, not by physical sight. They exist as forms of intention (saṃkalpa), just like cities in one's own dream.

14. These (worlds) exist everywhere and always, being exceedingly subtle, even subtler than space (kha). Because their essence lies merely in imagination (kalpanā), they are not moved even slightly.
14. הם נמצאים בכל מקום ובכל עת, עדינים אף יותר מהחלל; ומאחר שמהותם אינה אלא דמיון, הם אינם נעים כלל וכלל.

16. Just as ancient reflections are perceived, in the two streams of the life-force (prāṇa) that manifest before us, even those [impressions] not yet firmly established are carried along. But even those that *are* firmly established are not carried along in the same transient manner.
16. כמו בבואות של ערים המשתקפות בזרם נהר רוחות החיים לפנינו, העולמות הללו נישאים אף שאינם נעים, וקבועים אף שאינם קיימים באמת.

17. O Rāghava, just as fragrances, dwelling within the very body of the wind, are carried along, so too are all the worlds, which subsist in the life-force (prāṇa) and are composed of the essence of space (vyoman).
17. הו רָאגְהָוָה, כשם שניחוחות נישאים כשהם מוכלים בגוף הרוח, כך העולמות, שמהותם היא המרחב הפתוח, מוכלים ברוחות החיים ונישאים עימן.

18. yathā kumbhe deśāntaram nīte antarvyomni na anyatā

18. Just as there is no difference in the inner space (vyoman) when a pot is carried to another place, so too, there is no real otherness within the mind, which consists of vibration and the like, regarding the illusion of the three worlds.
18. כשם שכאשר מעבירים כד ממקום למקום החלל שבתוכו אינו משתנה, כך גם כאשר החשיבה הפועמת נעה בתוך אשלית שלושת העולמות, מהותה הפנימית נותרת ללא שינוי.

19. ittham jagad-bhrāntiḥ na sat asatyā eva uditā

19. Thus, this illusion of the world is not truly existent. It is merely unreal, though it appears as if it has manifested to you. It neither perishes nor originates; it is solely of the nature of Brahman.
19. כך, אשלית עולם זה אינה קיומית באמת; היא לא-אמיתית ורק נראית כמי שמופיעה. היא אינה נוצרת ואינה נחרבת, אלא אינה אלא ה-בְּרַהְמַן (המציאות הקוסמית).

20. Even if winds have arisen, the specific movement of (the boat) is not perceived, just as the motion of a boat is not perceived by those who are within its hull, (similarly) by those situated inside it.
20. ואפילו אם העולמות הללו נישאים ברוחות, התנועה הזו אינה מורגשת על ידי השוכנים בתוכם – בדיוק כפי שתנועת הספינה אינה מורגשת על ידי מי שנמצא בחדרו הפנימי בתוכה.

21. Just as the motion of a boat, even one perceived as 'attached to one's body', is not observed by those situated within it, so too on the earth, its motion is not observed by those who are situated within it and are fully absorbed in it.
21. כשם שתנועת הספינה אינה מורגשת על ידי הנוסעים היושבים בתוכה, כך תנועת הארץ אינה מורגשת על ידי אלה החיים עליה ושקועים בה.

25. For one who possesses the discriminative knowledge distinguishing 'this is to be rejected' and 'this is to be accepted,' even if that person is considered omniscient, there exists delusion (mūḍhatā).
25. ההבחנה הפנימית השגויה "את זה יש לדחות" ו"את זה יש לאמץ" היא בורות; מי שחשיבתו כבולה בהבחנה זו, אפילו נחשב לחכם יודע-כול, שקוע בטיפשות וכבול לסבך הקיום.

26. Indeed, just as a conscious entity (avayavī) perceives its own parts, so too does the individual soul (jīva) perceive the three worlds (trijagat) spread out within its own inner being.
26. כשם שיצור מודע מרגיש את איבריו שלו, כך היצור החי (ה-גִ'יוָוה) חווה את שלושת העולמות כפרושים בתוך עצמו בלבד.

28. Just as a mass of iron, if endowed with consciousness, would perceive razors, needles, and similar objects within itself, similarly, the ignorant individual soul (jīva) perceives the delusion of the three worlds.
28. כשם שאילו גוש ברזל היה מודע, הוא היה חווה בתוכו את הסכינים והמחטים הכלולים בו, כך היצור החי הבור חווה בתוכו את אשלית שלושת העולמות.

30. Just as a sprout in the ground, whether considered conscious or non-conscious, perceives its own potential to be a tree - even though it (the sprout) is still devoid of the literal, limited meaning of the word 'tree' - similarly, this Brahman (brahman) is the three worlds (trijagat), (which, like the sprout, is also) devoid of the full and limiting conceptual meaning of 'tree'.
30. כשם שנבט בתוך זרע מחשיב את עצמו לאילן, אף שאינו מכיל עדיין את המהות והשם של אילן, כך שלושת העולמות הללו הם בְּרַהְמַן בלבד.

31. Just as a mirror, whether it is regarded as conscious or non-conscious, and irrespective of whether a city is reflected in it or not, does not truly 'know' that city, similarly, Brahman (brahman) is the three worlds.
31. כשם שמראה, בין אם היא מודעת ובין אם לאו, אינה תופסת את העיר המשתקפת בה או שאינה משתקפת בה, כך בְּרַהְמַן אינו חווה את שלושת העולמות כדבר הנפרד ממנו.

37. Due to its non-conscious (acit) nature, no mental conceptualization (saṅkalpa) exists in the mind, just as a sprout cannot grow in the sky. But, due to the nature of consciousness (cit), understand that here, conceptualization (kalpanam) is nothing but consciousness (citi) itself.
37. בהיעדר מודעות עצמית מלידה, אין במחשבה שום כוונה או הרהור, כשם שאין ניצן צומח בשמיים. אך דע כי בשל זיקתה לתודעה, עצם פעולת המחשבה והדמיון נובעת מן התודעה הטהורה בלבד.

39. Although the glorious display of mental conceptualization (vikalpa-śrī) might seem to arise, for the awakened (prabuddha), it has not truly arisen. That (display) is not truly real or substantial, because the expanse of consciousness (cit-vyoman) is all-pervading and infinite.
39. כשם שעשירות הדימויים עולה אצל מי שאינו ער, כך אצל האדם הבראור והער היא אינה עולה כלל; מפאת היות חלל התודעה אינסופי ונוכח בכל, אין בה ממשות.

41. Resolve (saṅkalpa), latent impressions (vāsanā), and the individual soul (jīva) - these three entities are described as rooted in consciousness (cit). That which is experienced (in dreams, as mentioned in the previous verse) is, however, unreal, belonging only to the non-existent, not to the truly existent.
41. הכוונה, הרשמים הסמויים והַגִ'יוָוה (הנשמה האינדיבידואלית) – שלושת המושגים הללו מצוירים על ידי התודעה. אף על פי שהם נחווים, הם חסרי ממשות, שייכים לאי-קיום ולא לזה הקיים באמת.

43. The worlds are carried by the winds in space like silk-cotton down. Yet, they are not carried like stones, nor do they truly exist, being merely creations of imagination (kalpanā).

44. In this space, which serves as a vast repository for the totality of all phenomena and objects, and which is exceedingly boundless, there exist worlds. Some of these worlds are intertwined with each other, while others remain distinct.
44. כך, במרחב הֶחָלָל המתוח והעצום הזה, המכיל את אוצר כל החפצים, קיימים עולמות – חלקם משולבים ומעורבבים זה בזה, וחלקם אינם מעורבבים כלל.

45. Owing to the omnipresence of the Supreme Consciousness (parama citi), these worlds manifest in boundless forms, replete with countless beginnings that extend to every horizon. They are as transient as the images of cities reflected in restless clouds, and they are comparable to vast cities appearing sparsely within one's own being.
45. כיוון שהתודעה העליונה כוללת את הכל, צורות אינסופיות ממלאות את קצוות התבל בבריאות רבות; הן שבירות כמו בבואת ערים על פני מים נדים, ודומות לערים אדירות שקיימות רק בתוך הדמיון.

46. Even possessing stability, they are ever-perishing in an instant. Even with manifest senses, they are perpetually closed. Even though luminous, they are entirely enveloped in darkness. These are the ceaseless transformations, like waves, of the ocean of pure consciousness (cit-rūpa).
46. אף על פי שהן נראות יציבות, הן נתונות לפירוק מתמיד בכל רגע; אף על פי שהן גלויות לעין, הן עטופות תמיד בעצימת עיניים; אף שזהרורי אור בהן, הן מוקפות חושך – הכל אינו אלא אדוות וגלים באוקיינוס התודעה.

47. Just as the waters of rivers are found in the ocean - some remaining distinct and others completely intermingled - similarly, in the sky, are the luminosities of the assemblies of stars, suns, moons, and planets, whether they rise together or appear separately.
47. הן גם נפרדות וגם מעורבבות, כמו מימי הנהרות באוקיינוס, או כמו אורות הכוכבים, השמש, הירח והכוכבים העולים יחדיו בשמיים.
