अज्ञश्चाश्रद्दधानश्च संशयात्मा विनश्यति।

नायं लोकोऽस्ति न परो न सुखं संशयात्मनः।।4.40।।
 

Sanskrit Commentary By Sri Shankaracharya

।।4.40।। अज्ञश्च अनात्मज्ञश्च अश्रद्दधानश्च गुरुवाक्यशास्त्रेषु अविश्वासवांश्च संशयात्मा च संशयचित्तश्च विनश्यति। अज्ञाश्रद्दधानौ यद्यपि विनश्यतः न तथा यथा संशयात्मा। संशयात्मा तु पापिष्ठः सर्वेषाम्। कथम् नायं साधारणोऽपि लोकोऽस्ति। तथा न परः लोकः। न सुखम् तत्रापि संशयोत्पत्तेः संशयात्मनः संशयचित्तस्य। तस्मात् संशयो न कर्तव्यः।।कस्मात्

Hindi Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya's Sanskrit Commentary By Sri Harikrishnadas Goenka

।।4.40।।इस विषयमें संशय नहीं करना चाहिये क्योंकि संशय बड़ा पापी है। कैसे सो कहते हैं जो अज्ञ यानी आत्मज्ञानसे रहित है जो अश्रद्धालु है और जो संशयात्मा है ये तीनों नष्ट हो जाते हैं। यद्यपि अज्ञानी और अश्रद्धालु भी नष्ट होते हैं परंतु जैसा संशयात्मा नष्ट होता है वैसे नहीं क्योंकि इन सबमें संशयात्मा अधिक पापी है। अधिक पापी कैसे है ( सो कहते हैं ) संशयात्माको अर्थात् जिसके चित्तमें संशय है उस पुरुषको न तो यह साधारण मनुष्यलोक मिलता है न परलोक मिलता है और न सुख ही मिलता है क्योंकि वहाँ भी संशय होना सम्भव है इसलिये संशय नहीं करना चाहिये।

English Translation By Swami Adidevananda

4.40 The ignorant, the faithless and the doubting one peirsh; for the doubting one there is neither this world, nor that beyond, nor happiness.

English Translation By Swami Sivananda

4.40 The ignorant the faithless, the doubting self goes to destruction; there is neither this world nor the other, nor happiness for the doubting.

English Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya's Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Gambirananda

4.40 Ajnah, one who is ignorant, who has not known the Self; and asradda-dhanah, who is faithless; [Ast. adds here: guruvakya-sastresu avisvasavan, who has no faith in the instructions of the teacher and the scriptures.-Tr.] and samsaya-atma, who has a doubting mind; vinasyati, perishes. Although the ignorant and the faithless get ruined, yet it is not to the extent that a man with a doubting mind does. As for one with a doubting mind, he is the most vicious of them all. How? Na ayam lokah, neither this world which is familiar; na, nor also; parah, the next world; na sukham, nor happiness; asti, exist; samsaya-atmanah, for one who has a doubting mind. For doubt is possible even with regard to them! Therefore one should not entertain doubt. Why?

English Translation By Swami Gambirananda

4.40 One who is ignorant and faithless, and has a doubting mind perishes. Neither this world nor the next nor happiness exists for one who has a doubting mind.

English Translation By By Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

4.40. But he, who is ignorant and has no faith, perishes, with his self (mind) full of doubts. Neither this world nor the other, nor happiness is for a person, who is by nature is full of doubts.

English Translation by Shri Purohit Swami

4.40 But the ignorant man, and he who has no faith, and the sceptic are lost. Neither in this world nor elsewhere is there any happiness in store for him who always doubts.
