"Shraddavan Labhate Gyaanam

Tatparey Samjatendriya,

Gyaanam Laubdhaa Paraam Shantim

Achirenaadhigachhati."

Bhagavat Gita, Chapter IV, Verse 39

Shraddhaa is usually translated as belief or faith, but the nearest meaning is trust.  Belief and faith belong to mind, but trust belongs to no-mind, to life.  This trust is the truth because no-mind is the truth, life is the truth;  this trust is in the dimension of the most profound, beyond verbalization.  Belief and faith are not truth but are the products of the mind, the separative consciousness and therefore they are only mental prisons; but mind wants to be assured, to derive consolation and solace, to decorate the prisons, to relish the so-called security which degenerate into disastrous insecurity when humans belonging to different faiths and beliefs start killing each other as evident from the current terrorist activities prevailing in a particular faith.

Van means available and therefore Shraddhavan means a human being who is available to the dimension of trust, of life, of love, of energy of understanding.

Labhate means he attains, he obtains, he meets with.

Gyaan is knowledge, nam means 'no'.  Gyaanam means no-knowledge, that is, knowing directly by trust, by perception, by the division-free awareness.

The first line Shraddavan Labhate Gyaanam means:

A human being who is available in the dimension of trust is also available in the dimension of knowing.

Samjatendriya means a human body in which the sensory perception of life (Tanamatra) is not degenerated into sensuality of the mind (Indriya).

Thus, the second line Tatparey Samjatendriya therefore indicates:

Fire of awareness also prevents the sensory perception of life to degrade into sensuality of the mind and thus makes us available to direct knowing (Gyaanam) and enables us not to remain amused in the borrowed knowledge of the mind.

Laubdhaa means attaining, obtaining, having attained.

Paraam means supreme.

Shantim means silence.

Paraam shantim means a supreme silence which is beyond all measure of the mind.        

The third line Gyaanam Laubdhaa Paraam Shantim means:

 Once one is hit by the dimension of knowing, one goes into a dimension of supreme silence.

Achirenaadhi means instantly.

Adhigachhati means supremely gone.

The fourth line Achirenaadhigachhati means:

Suddenly the separative psyche disappears completely for the un-namable to be.  Thus the supreme liberation has happened in a living body which is indicated in Sanskrit as Jivan-Mukta.
