ब्राह्मण उवाच अकोविदः कोविदवादवादान् वदस्यथो नातिविदां वरिष्ठः । न सूरयो हि व्यवहारमेनं तत्त्वावमर्शेन सहामनन्ति ।। ५-११-१ ।।

sanskrit

The brāhmaṇa Jaḍa Bharata said: My dear King, although you are not at all experienced, you are trying to speak like a very experienced man. Consequently you cannot be considered an experienced person. An experienced person does not speak the way you are speaking about the relationship between a master and a servant or about material pains and pleasures. These are simply external activities. Any advanced, experienced man, considering the Absolute Truth, does not talk in this way. ।। 5-11-1 ।।

sanskrit

My dear King, talks of the relationship between the master and the servant, the king and the subject and so forth are simply talks about material activities. People interested in material activities which are expounded in the Vedas are intent on performing material sacrifices and placing faith in their material activities. For such people, spiritual advancement is definitely not manifest. ।। 5-11-2 ।।

sanskrit

A dream becomes automatically known to a person as false and immaterial, and similarly one eventually realizes that material happiness in this life or the next, on this planet or a higher planet, is insignificant. When one realizes this, the Vedas, although an excellent source, are insufficient to bring about direct knowledge of the truth. ।। 5-11-3 ‌।।

यावन्मनो रजसा पूरुषस्य सत्त्वेन वा तमसा वानुरुद्धम् । चेतोभिराकूतिभिरातनोति निरङ्कुशं कुशलं चेतरं वा ।। ५-११-४ ।।

sanskrit

As long as the mind of the living entity is contaminated by the three modes of material nature (goodness, passion and ignorance), his mind is exactly like an independent, uncontrolled elephant. It simply expands its jurisdiction of pious and impious activities by using the senses. The result is that the living entity remains in the material world to enjoy and suffer pleasures and pains due to material activity. ।। 5-11-4 ।।

sanskrit

Because the mind is absorbed in desires for pious and impious activities, it is naturally subjected to the transformations of lust and anger. In this way, it becomes attracted to material sense enjoyment. In other words, the mind is conducted by the modes of goodness, passion and ignorance. There are eleven senses and five material elements, and out of these sixteen items, the mind is the chief. Therefore the mind brings about birth in different types of bodies among demigods, human beings, animals and birds. When the mind is situated in a higher or lower position, it accepts a higher or lower material body. ।। 5-11-5 ।।
