অপ্রাকৃত বস্তু নহে প্রাকৃত-গোচর ।
বেদ-পুরাণেতে এই কহে নিরন্তর ॥ ১৯৪ ॥ aprakrta vastu nahe prakrta-gocara
veda-puranete ei kahe nirantara
SYNONYMS
aprakrta-spiritual; vastu-substance; nahe-not; prakrta-of matter; gocara-within the jurisdiction; veda-puranete-the Vedas and the Puranas; ei-this; kahe-say; nirantara-always.
TRANSLATION
"Spiritual substance is never within the jurisdiction of the material conception. This is always the verdict of the Vedas and Puranas."
PURPORT
na samdrse tisthati rupam asya
na caksusa pasyati kascanainam hrda manisa manasabhiklpto ya etad vidur amrtas te bhavanti naiva vaca na manasa
praptum sakyo na caksusa "Spirit is not within the jurisdiction of material eyes, words or mind."
Similarly in Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.84.13):
yasyatma-buddhih kunape tri-dhatuke
sva-dhih kalatradisu bhauma ijya-dhih yat-tirtha-buddhih salile na karhicij janesv abhijnesu sa eva go-kharah Spiritual substance cannot be seen by the unintelligent, because they do not have the eyes or the mentality to see spirit soul. Consequently they think that there is no such thing as spirit. However, followers of the Vedic injunctions take their information from Vedic statements, as found in Srimad-Bhagavatam and Katha Upanisad.
