Kena Upanishad - Part 2 - Marathi

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.

नाहं मन्ये सुवेदेति नो न वेदेति वेद च ।
यो नस्तद्वेद तद्वेद नो न वेदेति वेद च ॥ 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.

यस्यामतं तस्य मतं मतं यस्य न वेद सः ।
अविज्ञातं विजानतां विज्ञातमविजानताम् ॥ 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.

प्रतिबोधविदितं मतममृतत्वं हि विंदते ।
आत्मना विंदते वीर्यं विद्यया विंदतेऽमृतम् ॥ 4॥

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

इह चेदवेदीदथ सत्यमस्ति
न चेदिहावेदीन्महती विनष्टिः ।
भूतेषु भूतेषु विचित्य धीराः
प्रेत्यास्माल्लोकादमृता भवंति ॥ 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.

॥ इति केनोपनिषदि द्वितीयः खंडः ॥

Thus ends the second part of केनोपनिषद्.
