Transliteration

kāma-krodha-viyuktānāṁ yatīnāṁ yata-chetasām abhito brahma-nirvāṇaṁ vartate viditātmanām

Word by Word

kāma desires
krodha anger
vimuktānām of those who are liberated
yatīnām of the saintly persons
yata-chetasām those self-realized persons who have subdued their mind
abhitaḥ from every side
brahma spiritual
nirvāṇam liberation from material existence
vartate exists
vidita-ātmanām of those who are self-realized
Simplified Perspective

When desire and anger fall away like autumn leaves, the seeker stands naked before their own truth—and in that nakedness, Brahman reveals itself everywhere, as the very ground of being. The mind, once a wild horse, becomes a still mirror reflecting the infinite.

This is not escape from life but arrival at its source, and you can begin this journey right now, in this very moment, by noticing what you truly want beneath all the wanting.
