निर्मानमोहा जितसङ्गदोषा अध्यात्मनित्या विनिवृत्तकामाः ।
द्वन्द्वैर्विमुक्ताः सुखदुःखसंज्ञै र्गच्छन्त्यमूढाः पदमव्ययं तत् ॥
द्वन्द्वैर्विमुक्ताः सुखदुःखसंज्ञै र्गच्छन्त्यमूढाः पदमव्ययं तत् ॥
Hindi · हिन्दी
जो मान और मोहसे रहित हो गये हैं, जिन्होंने आसक्तिसे होनेवाले दोषोंको जीत लिया है, जो नित्यनिरन्तर परमात्मामें ही लगे हुए हैं, जो अपनी दृष्टिसे सम्पूर्ण कामनाओंसे रहित हो गये हैं, जो सुखदुःखरूप द्वन्द्वोंसे मुक्त हो गये हैं, ऐसे ऊँची स्थितिवाले मोहरहित साधक भक्त उस अविनाशी परमपदपरमात्मा को प्राप्त होते हैं ॥
English
Free from pride and delusion, victorious over attachment, ever rooted in the true self, desireless, and beyond the opposites of pleasure and pain, the undeluded reach that imperishable state.
What this verse means
Those who lose pride, cut attachment, stay rooted in the true self, and rise above pleasure and pain reach the imperishable state.
Context & commentary
On Kurukshetra, with Arjuna frozen between duty and grief, Krishna keeps pointing beyond the battlefield. After describing the cosmic tree and the highest abode, he names the inner qualities needed to reach it: no pride, no attachment, no craving, no confusion.
Why this verse still matters
You are about to send the message that may end a relationship, or finally leave the safe path that has become false. This verse says clarity arrives when pride, craving, and emotional whiplash stop steering.
The takeaway
Freedom feels less like gaining something and more like losing what kept you divided.
