Verse 631

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ ६३१ ॥

In plain words

So the Self, whose whole nature is bliss unmixed with anything else, is called the dearest of all — dearer than any object there is. But whoever holds something other than this Self dear, whatever that something may be: from it he tastes nothing but grief.

Close to the Sanskrit

Therefore the Self, whose nature is unmixed bliss, is declared dearest of all things; but he who considers anything other than this to be dear — that very man experiences from it nothing but grief.
