आत्मानं चेद्विजानीयात्परं ज्ञानधुताशय: । किमिच्छन्कस्य वा हेतोर्देहं पुष्णाति लम्पट: ॥ ४० ॥

Transliteration

ātmānaṁ ced vijānīyāt paraṁ jñāna-dhutāśayaḥ kim icchan kasya vā hetor dehaṁ puṣṇāti lampaṭaḥ
Synonyms
ātmānam — the soul and the Supersoul; cet — if; vijānīyāt — can understand; param — who are transcendental, beyond this material world; jñāna — by knowledge; dhuta-āśayaḥ — one who has cleansed his consciousness; kim — what; icchan — desiring material comforts; kasya — for whom; vā — or; hetoḥ — for what reason; deham — the material body; puṣṇāti — he maintains; lampaṭaḥ — being unlawfully addicted to sense gratification.

Translation

The human form of body is meant for understanding the self and the Supreme Self, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, both of whom are transcendentally situated. If both of them can be understood when one is purified by advanced knowledge, for what reason and for whom does a foolish, greedy person maintain the body for sense gratification?

आत्मानं चेद् विजानीयात् परं ज्ञानधुताशय:। किमिच्छन्कस्य वा हेतोर्देहं पुष्णाति लम्पट:॥ ४०

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

आत्मज्ञानके द्वारा जिसकी सारी वासनाएँ निर्मूल हो गयी हैं और जिसने अपने आत्माको परब्रह्मस्वरूप जान लिया है, वह किस विषयकी इच्छा और किस भोक्ताकी तृप्तिके लिये इन्द्रियलोलुप होकर अपने शरीरका पोषण करेगा?॥ ४०॥
