223,437 words | ISBN-10: 8171101519

The Sanskrit edition of the Yoga-vasistha including English translation and grammatical analysis. The Yogavasistha is a Hindu spiritual text written by Valmiki (who also authored the Ramayana) dealing with the philosophical topics from the Advaita-vedanta school. Chronologically it precedes the Ramayana.

Verse 6.2.56

चिदात्मासि निरंशोऽसि पारावारविवर्जितः ।
रूपं स्मर निजं स्फारं माऽस्मृत्या संमितो भव ॥ ५६ ॥

cidātmāsi niraṃśo'si pārāvāravivarjitaḥ |
rūpaṃ smara nijaṃ sphāraṃ mā'smṛtyā saṃmito bhava || 56 ||

Remember Rama, your pellucid intellectual and spiritual form, which has no limit nor part of it, but is an unlimited and undivided whole; and mistake not yourself for a limited being by forgetting your true nature.
