श्लोक 15.10
उत्क्रामन्तं स्थितं वापि भुञ्जानं वा गुणान्वितम् ।
विमूढा नानुपश्यन्ति पश्यन्ति ज्ञानचक्षुषः ॥
utkrāmantaṃ sthitaṃ vāpi bhuñjānaṃ vā guṇānvitam |
vimūḍhā nānupaśyanti paśyanti jñānacakṣuṣaḥ ||
हिन्दी अर्थ
शरीर छोड़ते हुए, शरीर में रहते हुए, या गुणों से युक्त होकर भोग करते हुए जीवात्मा को मूढ़ लोग नहीं देख पाते; ज्ञान की दृष्टि वाले ही उसे देखते हैं।
Meaning in English
The deluded do not see the soul as it departs, stays, or enjoys while joined with the gunas; but those with the eye of wisdom see it.
