श्लोक कहता है
Those seers whose stains are worn thin reach the peace of the infinite — their doubleness cut away, themselves restrained, taking delight in the good of all beings.
सरल शब्दों में
The list ends somewhere unexpected.
Not in solitude. Not in stillness. In sarva-bhūta-hite ratāḥ — delighting in the good of all beings.
The last stage of the inward journey turns out to face outward.
आपने इसे कहाँ महसूस किया है
Your friend who volunteers at the shelter does not describe it as a sacrifice, and she does not describe it as a joy either. She just goes on Tuesdays. Asking her why produces a slightly puzzled look.
और गहराई में
The final item on the list is the one that changes what the list means.
Everything before it points inward: stains worn thin, doubleness cut, the self restrained. Then the sentence ends on taking delight in the good of all beings, and the direction reverses.
Ratāḥ — delighting, taking pleasure in. Not serving, which could be duty, and not sacrificing, which would leave a self keeping score. The word is about enjoyment.
So the outward turn is not presented as an obligation attached to the inward one. It is presented as what the inward one produces, which is a much stronger claim and a checkable one.
And it gives a reader a way to test any inward practice, including this book. If years of it have left someone more insulated, something has gone wrong that no amount of calm makes up for.
