MahavakyaPancaka - Sloka 2



yat-janitam etad-akhilam jagad anityam
svapnajagad abhragaja-väri vanatulyam |
apramita-mürti-rahitam parasukham yat
tattvamasi tattvamasi tattvamasi räjan || 2

yat-janitam – from which is created
etad-akhilam – this whole
jagad – world
anityam – which is non-eternal
svapnajagad – like the world in the dream
abhragaja-väri – like the water in the clouds
vanatulyam – and similar to the forest
apramita-mürti-rahitam – that which is devoid of any form and cannot be the object of any means of right knowledge
parasukham yat – which is the ultimate bliss
tattvamasi tattvamasi tattvamasi – That you are, That you are, That you are
räjan - oh King.

Oh King, you are the Self, Which is the cause of the creation, sustanance and dissolution of this whole world, which (world) is euphemeral like the world of the dream state or the water of the clouds cannot quench our immediate thirs and like the forest will make us loose track of the Self. Giving up the association with it, knowing clearly it to be euphemeral, know the ultimate bliss which is not an object to any means of right knowledge.
