Transliteration
labhante brahma-nirvāṇam ṛiṣhayaḥ kṣhīṇa-kalmaṣhāḥ chhinna-dvaidhā yatātmānaḥ sarva-bhūta-hite ratāḥ
Word by Word
The ancient seers achieved brahma-nirvāṇam—not escape from existence, but liberation into its deepest truth—by purifying their karma, dissolving the false duality between self and other, and anchoring their minds in unwavering dedication to all beings' welfare. This is not a distant attainment for ascetics alone; it describes the integrated life available to anyone who stops compartmentalizing their spiritual practice from their daily service to others.
When you act with genuine care for the wellbeing of all—your family, your community, even those who challenge you—while simultaneously releasing your grip on outcomes, you become the instrument through which brahma-nirvāṇam works itself into reality.
