Kena Upanishad - Part 2 - Bengali

Teacher: If you think, "I have known Brahman well enough", then you know little, for the form of Brahman you see as conditioned in living beings and deities is little. Therefore, you should enquire further about Brahman.

Disciple (after reflecting further and realizing Brahman): I think I have known Brahman.

নাহং মন্য়ে সুবেদেতি নো ন বেদেতি বেদ চ ।
যো নস্তদ্বেদ তদ্বেদ নো ন বেদেতি বেদ চ ॥ 2॥

I do not think I know well. Yet I do not think I do not know. He who comprehends It both as Known and Unknown, knows It.

যস্য়ামতং তস্য় মতং মতং যস্য় ন বেদ সঃ ।
অবিজ্ঞাতং বিজানতাং বিজ্ঞাতমবিজানতাম্ ॥ 3॥

Teacher: He who understands It does not conceive It. And he does not understand It, who conceives It. To the wise it is unknown and to the ignorant it is known.

প্রতিবোধবিদিতং মতমমৃতত্বং হি বিংদতে ।
আত্মনা বিংদতে বীর্য়ং বিদ্যয়া বিংদতেঽমৃতম্ ॥ 4॥

He who understands it by intuition, through every mental state, obtains strength from the Atman, and through knowledge, he attains immortality.

ইহ চেদবেদীদথ সত্যমস্তি
ন চেদিহাবেদীন্মহতী বিনষ্টিঃ ।
ভূতেষু ভূতেষু বিচিত্য় ধীরাঃ
প্রেত্য়াস্মাল্লোকাদমৃতা ভবংতি ॥ 5॥

He who has realized It here in this world, is liberated here itself . He who has not realized suffers a great loss. Seeing the Atman in every being, the wise one rises above a life bound by the senses and attains immortality.

॥ ইতি কেনোপনিষদি দ্বিতীয়ঃ খংডঃ ॥

Thus ends the second part of কেনোপনিষদ্.
