एवमेव खलु सोम्य इमाः सर्वाः प्रजाः यस्मात् सतिसंपद्य न विदुः, तस्मात्सत आगम्य न विदुः—सत आग-च्छामहे आगता इति वा ।त इह व्याघ्र इत्यादि समान-मन्यत् ।दृष्टं लोके जले वीचीतरङ्गफेनबुद्बुदादय उत्थिताःपुनस्तद्भावं गता विनष्टा इति ।जीवास्तु तत्कारणभावंप्रत्यहं गच्छन्तोऽपि सुषुप्ते मरणप्रलययोश्च न विनश्यन्ती-त्येतत्, भूय एव मा भगवान्विज्ञापयतु दृष्टान्तेन ।तथासोम्येति ह उवाच पिता ॥
In plain words
In this exact way, dear one, all these creatures merge into pure existence, yet do not realize they have merged. Whether they come from it or not, they do not think 'we have come from existence.' The rest of the text, beginning with 'tiger,' is similar. We see in the world that waves, ripples, foam, and bubbles rise from water, merge back into it, and vanish. But individual souls, though they enter their causal source daily in deep sleep, as well as during death and cosmic dissolution, do not perish. Please explain this further to me with an example, revered sir. 'So be it, dear one,' replied the father.
Close to the Sanskrit
In this very manner, dear one, all these creatures, having merged into the existent, do not know that they have merged into the existent—thinking 'we come from the existent' or 'we have come from it.' The rest, beginning with 'tiger here,' is similar. It is seen in the world that waves, ripples, foam, and bubbles arise in water and go back to its state and are destroyed. But individual souls, even though going to their causal state every day in deep sleep and in death and dissolution, do not perish—explain this further to me by an example, revered sir. So be it, dear one, the father spoke.
