Word by word
Tap a word to reveal its meaning. Say each one aloud as you go.
In English
That which is not shall never be; that which is shall never cease to be. These truths are self-evident to the wise.
Translated by Shri Purohit Swami
The unreal has no being; there is no non-being of the real; the truth about both has been seen by the knowers of the truth (or the seers of the essence).
Translated by Swami Sivananda
