api nirvāṇamāyāti nānalo yāti śītatām ॥
English Translation:
People of self-respect rather have death than
humiliation. Fire dies out but never turns cold.
This sanskrit shloka offers profound insights into human nature, desires, and the pursuit of liberation. It encourages reflection on the limitations of material desires and the ultimate path to inner freedom.
Let's break down the mantra:
Manasvī: Refers to someone with a strong mind, implying a person of wisdom and discernment.
Mriyate: Means "dies" or "perishes."
Kāmaṃ: Refers to desires or worldly cravings.
Kārpaṇyaṃ: Translates to "cowardice" or "lack of initiative." It symbolizes a state of weakness or inaction.
Tu: But.
Gacchati: Means "goes" or "attains."
Api: Also.
Nirvāṇam: Signifies liberation or enlightenment.
Āyāti: Means "comes" or "attains."
Nānalaḥ: Without heat, symbolizing indifference.
Yāti: Goes or attains.
Śītatām: Coldness or detachment.
In essence, the mantra can be understood as:
"A wise person dies to desires, not to inaction. Even attaining liberation, one may remain indifferent, yet not cold."
This mantra conveys several key teachings:
Balance between Desires and Action: It suggests that a person of wisdom dies to desires, not to inaction. In other words, they overcome desires but remain active and engaged in meaningful actions.
Importance of Courage: It points out that lack of initiative or courage is like a form of death – a metaphorical death of potential and growth.
Path to Liberation: While liberation (nirvana) can be attained, it emphasizes that even in that state, one may remain unattached yet not devoid of warmth or empathy.
Detachment: The mantra highlights the significance of remaining detached from desires and outcomes while actively participating in life.
Overall, the mantra encourages individuals to transcend the limitations of desires, take purposeful action, and attain a state of liberation while maintaining a sense of equanimity and empathy. It offers guidance on the inner journey toward balance, wisdom, and inner freedom.
