यस्मिन्द्यौः पृथिवी चान्तरिक्षमोतं मनः सह प्राणैश्च सर्वैः। तमेवैकं जानथ आत्मानमन्या वाचो विमुञ्चथामृतस्यैष सेतुः॥
yasmindyauḥ pṛthivī cāntarikṣamotaṃ manaḥ saha prāṇaiśca sarvaiḥ | tamevaikaṃ jānatha ātmānamanyā vāco vimuñcathāmṛtasyaiṣa setuḥ ||
"In whom heaven, earth, and the space between are woven, along with the mind and all the vital breaths - know Him alone as the one Self. Abandon all other speech! This is the bridge to immortality."
What This Means:
All of creation - heaven, earth, space, mind, breath - is woven into one Self. Know that alone. Drop all other talk. This knowledge is the bridge to deathlessness.
Going Deeper:
"Abandon other speech" means stop the mental chatter and conceptual elaboration. Focus on the one Self.
How To Apply This:
Stop talking about spirituality and know the Self directly. This knowledge alone bridges death.
