Ashtavakra Gita 18.22 meaning
asansarasya tu kvapi na harsho na vishadita
sa sheetalamana nityam videha iva rajate
असंसारस्य तु क्वापि न हर्षो न विषादिता।
स शीतलमना नित्यं विदेह इव राजते॥
For one free of worldly life there is no thrill and no gloom anywhere. With a cool mind always, he shines as if he had no body.
What it means
Imagine a mind that stays cool whether things go up or down. That steadiness isn't numbness; it's a deep lightness, as if life's weight no longer presses on you.हिंदी में अर्थ
संसार से मुक्त व्यक्ति के लिए कहीं न हर्ष है न विषाद। हमेशा शीतल मन से वह मानो बिना शरीर के चमकता है।
सोचिए, ऐसा मन जो हालात ऊपर जाएँ या नीचे, शीतल रहे। यह स्थिरता सुन्नपन नहीं; गहरा हल्कापन है, मानो जीवन का बोझ अब दबाता नहीं।
