Bhagavad Gita 2.46
Sanskrit
यावानर्थ उदपाने सर्वतः संप्लुतोदके। तावान्सर्वेषु वेदेषु ब्राह्मणस्य विजानतः।।2.46।।
Transliteration
yāvān artha udapāne sarvataḥ samplutodake tāvānsarveṣhu vedeṣhu brāhmaṇasya vijānataḥ
In plain words
You're drowning in too many answers, too many paths, too many voices telling you who you should be and what you should do. Krishna says: when you're surrounded by the infinite ocean of your own true nature, all the noise—all the rules, all the shoulds, all the competing advice—becomes useless. Stop collecting more information. The wisdom you need is already alive in you. Stop searching outside and listen to what's already here.
हिंदी अर्थ
जैसे एक छोटे कुएं का पानी बड़ी नदी में व्यर्थ हो जाता है, वैसे ही सभी वेदों का ज्ञान एक ज्ञानी ब्राह्मण के लिए उतना महत्वपूर्ण नहीं रह जाता। एक सच्चा ज्ञानी व्यक्ति को सभी वेदों के अध्ययन की जरूरत नहीं, क्योंकि उसे परमात्मा का साक्षात्कार हो चुका होता है।
Word by Word
When a vast lake surrounds you, the small well becomes meaningless—its water is already everywhere. So too, when the Self is fully realized, all the Vedas and their scriptures dissolve into that one Truth you have become.
The awakened soul sees that knowledge itself was always One, wearing many names and forms. In your daily life, this teaches you to stop collecting information and start embodying the wisdom already alive within you.
