हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

मैं जीना नहीं चाहता। यह हाथीकी योनि बाहर और भीतर—सब ओरसे अज्ञानरूप आवरणके द्वारा ढकी हुई है, इसको रखकर करना ही क्या है? मैं तो आत्मप्रकाशको ढकनेवाले उस अज्ञानरूप आवरणसे छूटना चाहता हूँ, जो कालक्रमसे अपने-आप नहीं छूट सकता, जो केवल भगवत्कृपा अथवा तत्त्वज्ञानके द्वारा ही नष्ट होता है॥ २५॥

स्रोत-खंड सीमा · यह हिन्दी अंश गीता प्रेस डिजिटल पाठ में इस दृश्य श्लोक-इकाई के बाद आता है; इसे स्वतः एक-से-एक टीका या संस्करण-समानता नहीं माना गया है।
