यदा ते मोहकलिलं बुद्धिर्व्यतितरिष्यति ।
तदा गन्तासि निर्वेदं श्रोतव्यस्य श्रुतस्य च ॥ ५२ ॥
yadā te mohakalilaṃ buddhirvyatitariṣyati
tadā gantāsi nirvedaṃ śrotavyasya śrutasya ca
yadā te mohakalilaṃ buddhirvyatitariṣyati
tadā gantāsi nirvedaṃ śrotavyasya śrutasya ca
Word by word
Translation
When your intellect crosses the mire of delusion, you will become indifferent to all that has been heard and all that is yet to be heard.
जब तेरी बुद्धि मोह के दलदल को पार कर लेगी, तब तू जो सुन चुका है और जो आगे सुनने योग्य है, उन सबसे वैराग्य को प्राप्त होगा।
Explanation
Delusion is called a mire, in which a trapped mind cannot see clearly. Once free of it, a person loses interest in talk full of promises of rewards and enjoyment, because they have seen the truth that lies beyond these.
