Verse 20

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ २० ॥

In plain words

Brahman is satya, real in the full sense; the world is mithyā, appearing but not truly so. The jīva, the individual self, is Brahman itself and nothing other. By this a teaching earns the name śāstra, a scripture worth trusting — so runs the drumbeat of Vedānta.

Close to the Sanskrit

Brahman is Satya, the world is Mithyā; the Jīva is Brahman alone, not other. By this the true Śāstra is to be known—thus the drumbeat of Vedānta.
