ज्ञानाधिष्ठानं मातृका
ज्ञान का आधार वर्णमाला है | इस लोक में ऐसा कुछ भी नहीं है जो शब्द से अनुगत न हो | शब्द से बिद्ध यह सारा विश्व शब्द से ही प्रकाशित है | इसी के द्वारा अंतरानुसन्धान रहित जो बहिर्मुख ज्ञान है उसे ही बन्ध कहते है |
The basis of knowledge is an alphabet.
Knowledge is based on the alphabet. There is nothing in this world that is not in accordance with the word. This whole world, bound by words, is illuminated by words. The extroverted knowledge that is devoid of introspection through this is called bondage.
This is because all knowledge is ultimately expressed in words, and the alphabet is the basic building block of all words. There is nothing in this world that is not in accordance with words. The extroverted knowledge without inner research is called bondage. It is a warning against the dangers of superficial knowledge. Knowledge that is not accompanied by introspection is ultimately meaningless. We should not only seek knowledge of the external world, but also of our inner selves.
