Translation
ENGLISH
This self is said to be unmanifest, beyond thought and unchanging. Knowing it to be so, you should not grieve.
हिंदी
यह आत्मा अव्यक्त, अचिंत्य और विकार रहित कहा जाता है। इसलिए इसे ऐसा जानकर तुझे शोक नहीं करना चाहिए।
Explanation
The senses cannot see the Self (avyakta), the mind cannot imagine it (achintya), and no change takes place in it (avikarya). The reasoning that has run since 2.11 reaches a conclusion here: for such a Self there is no cause for grief.
