Hindi Translation
उन सच्चिदानन्दघन निराकार ब्रह्म में आसक्त चित्तवाले पुरुषों के साधन में परिश्रम विशेष है, क्योंकि देहाभिमानियों के द्वारा अव्यक्त विषयक गति दुःखपूर्वक प्राप्त की जाती है ॥५॥
English Translation
Of course, the strain is greater for those who have their mind attached to the Unmanifest; for atonement with the Unmanifest is attained with difficulty by those who are centred in the body. (12.5)
