Chapter 2 · Verse 25
Sankhya Yoga
सांख्ययोग
In plain words
You are commanded to stop grieving and let go of your anxiety by realizing that your true Self is invisible, beyond human thought, and completely changeless. Since you cannot be destroyed, sorrow is entirely misplaced. Embracing this jnana, or spiritual knowledge, allows you to pierce through maya, the illusion of physical loss, and find eternal peace.
Translation
2.25 This (self) is said to be unmanifest, inconceivable and unchanging. Therefore, knowing It thus, it does not befit you to grieve.
Meaning
The Self is not an object of perception. It can hardly be seen by the physical eyes. Therefore the Self is unmanifested. That which is seen by the eyes becomes an object of thought. As the Self cannot be perceived by the eyes. It is unthinkable. Milk when mixed with buttermilk changes its form. The Self cannot change Its form like milk. Hence. It is changeless and immutable. Therefore thus understanding the Self thou shouldst not mourn. Thou shouldst not think also that thou art their slayer and that they are killed by thee.
Word by word
अव्यक्तः unmanifested अयम् this (Self) अचिन्त्यः unthinkable अयम् this अविकार्यः unchangeable अयम् this उच्यते is said तस्मात् therefore एवम् thus विदित्वा having known एनम् this न not अनुशोचितुम् to grieve अर्हसि (thou) oughtest.
