Word-by-word meanings

2.44 भोगैश्वर्यप्रसक्तानाम् of the people deeply attached to pleasure and lordship? तया by that? अपहृतचेतसाम् whose minds are drawn away? व्यवसायात्मिका determinate? बुद्धिः reason? समाधौ in Samadhi? न not? विधीयते is fixed.Commentary Those who cling to pleasure and power cannot have steadiness of mind. They cannot concentrate or meditate. They are ever busy in planning projects for the acisition of wealth and power. Their minds are ever restless. They have no poised understanding.

Commentaries

Non-dualism. The individual self and Brahman are one. The world is appearance (maya). Liberation through knowledge.

Sri Shankaracharya

।।2.44।।जो भोग और ऐश्वर्यमें आसक्त हैं अर्थात् भोग और ऐश्वर्य ही पुरषार्थ है ऐसे मानकर उनमें ही जिनका प्रेम हो गया है इस प्रकार जो तद्रूप हो रहे हैं तथा क्रियाभेदोंको विस्तारपूर्वक बतलानेवाली उस उपर्युक्त वाणीद्वारा जिनका चित्त हर लिया गया है अर्थात् ( जिनकी ) विवेकबुद्धि आच्छादित हो रही है उनकी समाधिमें सांख्यविषयक या योगविषयक निश्चयात्मिका बुद्धि ( नहीं ठहरती )। पुरुषके भोगके लिये जिसमें सब कुछ स्थापित किया जाता है उसका नाम समाधि है। इस व्युत्पत्तिके अनुसार समाधि अन्तःकरणका नाम है उसमें बुद्धि नहीं ठहरती अर्थात् उत्पन्न ही नहीं होती।
