Brihadaranyaka Upanishad · Maitreyi Brahmana
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 2.4.14 meaning
yen-edam sarvam vijanati tam kena vijaneeyat
vijnataram are kena vijaneeyad iti
येनेदं सर्वं विजानाति तं केन विजानीयात् ।
विज्ञातारमरे केन विजानीयादिति ॥
By what could one know that by which all this is known? My dear, by what could one know the knower?
What it means
The eye cannot see itself. In the same way, the awareness that knows everything can never become just another object to study. You do not find it out there; you simply are it.हिंदी में अर्थ
जिसके द्वारा यह सब जाना जाता है, उसे किससे जाना जाए? प्रिये, जानने वाले को किसके द्वारा जाना जा सकता है?
आँख खुद को नहीं देख सकती। वैसे ही जो चेतना सब जानती है, वह किसी वस्तु की तरह नहीं जानी जा सकती। उसे बाहर नहीं खोजना; आप वही हैं।
