श्रीभगवानुवाच परस्वभावकर्माणि न प्रशंसेन्न गर्हयेत् । विश्वमेकात्मकं पश्यन् प्रकृत्या पुरुषेण च ।। ११-२८-१ ।।

sanskrit

The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: One should neither praise nor criticize the conditioned nature and activities of other persons. Rather, one should see this world as simply the combination of material nature and the enjoying souls, all based on the one Absolute Truth. ।। 11-28-1 ।।

तैजसे निद्रयाऽऽपन्ने पिण्डस्थो नष्टचेतनः । मायां प्राप्नोति मृत्युं वा तद्वन्नानार्थदृक् पुमान् ।। ११-२८-३ ।।

sanskrit

Just as the embodied spirit soul loses external consciousness when his senses are overcome by the illusion of dreaming or the deathlike state of deep sleep, so a person experiencing material duality must encounter illusion and death. ।। 11-28-3 ।।

किं भद्रं किमभद्रं वा द्वैतस्यावस्तुनः कियत् । वाचोदितं तदनृतं मनसा ध्यातमेव च ।। ११-२८-४ ।।

sanskrit

That which is expressed by material words or meditated upon by the material mind is not ultimate truth. What, therefore, is actually good or bad within this insubstantial world of duality, and how can the extent of such good and bad be measured? ।। 11-28-4 ।।

छाया प्रत्याह्वयाभासा ह्यसन्तोऽप्यर्थकारिणः । एवं देहादयो भावा यच्छन्त्यामृत्युतो भयम् ।। ११-२८-५ ।।

sanskrit

Although shadows, echoes and mirages are only illusory reflections of real things, such reflections do cause a semblance of meaningful or comprehensible perception. In the same way, although the identification of the conditioned soul with the material body, mind and ego is illusory, this identification generates fear within him even up to the moment of death. ।। 11-28-5 ।।
