યદિ મન્યસે સુવેદેતિ દહરમેવાપિ
નૂનં ત્વં વેત્થ બ્રહ્મણો રૂપમ્ ।
યદસ્ય ત્વં યદસ્ય દેવેષ્વથ નુ
મીમામ્સ્યમેવ તે મન્યે વિદિતમ્ ॥ 1॥
Teacher: If you think, "I have known Brahman well enough", then you know little, for the form of Brahman you see as conditioned in living beings and deities is little. Therefore, you should enquire further about Brahman.
Disciple (after reflecting further and realizing Brahman): I think I have known Brahman.
નાહં મન્યે સુવેદેતિ નો ન વેદેતિ વેદ ચ ।
યો નસ્તદ્વેદ તદ્વેદ નો ન વેદેતિ વેદ ચ ॥ 2॥
I do not think I know well. Yet I do not think I do not know. He who comprehends It both as Known and Unknown, knows It.
યસ્યામતં તસ્ય મતં મતં યસ્ય ન વેદ સઃ ।
અવિજ્ઞાતં વિજાનતાં વિજ્ઞાતમવિજાનતામ્ ॥ 3॥
Teacher: He who understands It does not conceive It. And he does not understand It, who conceives It. To the wise it is unknown and to the ignorant it is known.
પ્રતિબોધવિદિતં મતમમૃતત્વં હિ વિંદતે ।
આત્મના વિંદતે વીર્યં વિદ્યયા વિંદતેઽમૃતમ્ ॥ 4॥
He who understands it by intuition, through every mental state, obtains strength from the Atman, and through knowledge, he attains immortality.
ઇહ ચેદવેદીદથ સત્યમસ્તિ
ન ચેદિહાવેદીન્મહતી વિનષ્ટિઃ ।
ભૂતેષુ ભૂતેષુ વિચિત્ય ધીરાઃ
પ્રેત્યાસ્માલ્લોકાદમૃતા ભવંતિ ॥ 5॥
He who has realized It here in this world, is liberated here itself . He who has not realized suffers a great loss. Seeing the Atman in every being, the wise one rises above a life bound by the senses and attains immortality.
॥ ઇતિ કેનોપનિષદિ દ્વિતીયઃ ખંડઃ ॥
Thus ends the second part of કેનોપનિષદ્.
