कामं क्रोधं लोभं मोहं त्यक्त्वाऽऽत्मानं पश्यति सोऽहम् । आत्मज्ञानविहीना मूढाः ते पच्यन्ते नरकनिगूढाः ॥२६॥
Study note
Word breakdown
- कामं क्रोधं लोभं मोहं
- Abandoning lust, anger, greed, and delusion,
- त्यक्त्वाऽऽत्मानं पश्यति सोऽहम् ।
- one sees 'I am That.'
- आत्मज्ञानविहीना मूढाः
- The fools devoid of Self-knowledge
- ते पच्यन्ते नरकनिगूढाः ॥२६॥
- are cooked in hell, concealed.
Abandoning lust, anger, greed, and delusion opens the recognition 'I am That.' Without this knowledge the soul remains trapped in the inner hell of its own passions.
