Shloka Na Karmana

Listen to the audio: Na karmana na prajaya dhanena tyagenaike amrta tvamanasuh parena nakam nihitam guhayam vibhrajate yadyatayo visanti Neither by actions, nor by (aquiring) progeny and wealth, but by renunciation alone is immortality attained. (That Supreme State ) is far beyond the highest heaven, and the sages perceive it,hidden in the cave of the heart, shining brilliantly therein. Vedanta vijnana suniscitarthah samnyasa yogadyataya suddha sattvah te brahma lokesu paranta kale paramratah parimucyanti sarve (Those) sages, who have a clear understanding of the principles of Vedanta,who have purified themselves by means of the yoga of renunciation,and who are (thus) established in the state of supreme beatitude,are totally liberated in Brahman at the time of dissolution of the body. Dharam vipapam paramesma bhutam yad pundarikam puramadhya sagastham tatrapi dahram gaganam visokam tasmin ya dantastatu pasidavyam Located in the center of the city of the body is the subtle lotus of theheart, pure and untainted, which is the abode of the supreme. Meditate on the supreme being residing in that inner expanse, which is subtle and free from sorrow. Yo vedadau svara proktah vedante ca pratistitaha tasya prakriti linasya yah parahssa mahesvaraha The which is described as the primal sound (om) in the beginning ofthe vedas, has been fully established as the supreme truth at the end ofthe Vedas ( the Upanishads) . The one who realizes that Supreme Principle is beyond the pale of those totally immersed in physical realities. Indeed, He is none other than the supreme Lord ! Na tatra suryo bhati na candra tarakam

There the sun does not shine, nor do the moon and the stars. These streaks of lightning do not shine there either, (so) what to speak of this fire? That, shining, makes all others shine. By virtue of its luminosity, all these (manifestations) are illuminated.
