Study note
Word breakdown
- शरीरे धनेऽपत्यवर्गे कलत्रे
- In body, wealth, children, and spouse,
- विरक्तस्य सद्देशिकादिष्टबुद्धेः ।
- for the detached one whose intellect is guided by a true teacher,
- यदाकस्मिकं ज्योतिरानन्दरूपं
- when suddenly a light of bliss-form
- समाधौ भवेत्तत्त्वमस्यम्ब सत्यम्
- arises in samadhi - that is 'Thou art That,' O Mother, truly.
For the disciple guided by a sadguru, the flash of bliss-light in samadhi is the living truth of Tat tvam asi. The Devi reveals herself as the sole reality when outer attachments fall away.
