Upanishad XXIII - The Eye of Consciousness / चेतना की आंख

The eye of Consciousness

sees and animates all.

Nagna says:

Bodies come and go.

चेतना की आंख

सभी को देखता है और एनिमेट करता है।

नग्न कहते हैं:

शरीर आते हैं और चले जाते हैं।

Upanishad XXII - Consciousness Does Not Depend on the Body / चेतना शरीर पर निर्भर नहीं करती है

Consciousness does not depend on the body;

the body depends on consciousness,

which is the basis of all being.

Nagna says:

Consciousness is unlimited and unconditioned.

चेतना शरीर पर निर्भर नहीं करती है;

शरीर चेतना पर निर्भर करता है,

जो सभी का आधार है।

नग्न कहते हैं:

चेतना असीमित और बिना शर्त है।

Only Consciousness Exists

 Only consciousness exists.

exstat sola conscientia

רק תודעה קיימת.

Numai conștiința există.

בלויז באוווסטזיין יגזיסץ.

Існує лише свідомість.

केवल चेतना मौजूद है।

Yalnızca bilinç vardır.

Vain tietoisuus on olemassa.

Endast medvetandet existerar.

só existe consciência.

只有意識存在。

意識だけが存在します。

Ufahamu tu upo.

Mung ana eling.

Hanya kesadaran yang ada.

Upanishad XXI - The Body / वह शरीर

The body that you devote so much time

to feeding, clothing, and pleasuring,

is an illusion.

Time is an illusion, too.

All this is illusion.

There is only Consciousness.

Nagna says:

Death is also an illusion.

वह शरीर जिसे आप इतना समय समर्पित करते हैं

खिला, कपड़े, और आनंददायक,

एक भ्रम है।

समय एक भ्रम है, भी।

यह सब भ्रम है।

केवल चेतना है।

नग्न कहते हैं:

मृत्यु भी एक भ्रम है।

Our Babysitters

 Our babysitters are in the moon,

Rising II - He Has Worn the Covenant

He has worn the covenant in his flesh

for more than two millennia.

He will wear it in his soul forever.

הוא לבש את הברית בבשרו

במשך יותר משתי אלפי שנים.

הוא ילבש את זה בנשמתו לנצח.

El a purtat legământul în trupul său

de mai bine de două milenii.

O va purta în suflet pentru totdeauna.

Він носив завіт у своєму тілі

протягом більше двох тисячоліть.

Він буде носити це в своїй душі назавжди.

ער האט געטראגן דעם בונד אין זיין פלייש

פֿאַר מער ווי צוויי מאַלעניאַ.

ער וועט טראָגן עס אין זיין נשמה אויף אייביק.
