अश्वत्थ: सर्ववृक्षाणां देवर्षीणां च नारद: |

गन्धर्वाणां चित्ररथ: सिद्धानां कपिलो मुनि: || 10.26||

Of all trees, I am the aśvattha(peepal), and of the devarshis I am Nārada. Of the Gandharvas I am Chitraratha, and of the perfected ones I am the sage Kapila.

The sanctity and miraculous power of this Aswattha tree is mentioned in the Puranas. The Aswattha is the very embodiment of Vishnu from the roots to the leaves. Its fruits are Hari; under its shade, great souls reside. Those who seek shelter under it are blessed with fulfillment of all their desires. They derive spiritual benefit and divine virtues. Therefore people worship this tree in various ways. It is also used for medicinal purposes.

योऽयमात्मा स्वयंज्योतिः पञ्चकोशविलक्षणः ।

अवस्थात्रयसाक्षी सन्निर्विकारो निरञ्जनः ।

सदानन्दः स विज्ञेयः स्वात्मत्वेन विपश्चिता ॥ 211 ॥

That Ātman, which is self-luminous,distinct from the five sheaths (pañca-kośa),

the witness of the three states (waking, dream, and deep sleep),unchanging, stainless, and

of the nature of ever-present bliss—that alone is to be known by the wise as one’s own Self.

The Self is not an object to be attained, but the ever-present subject.

Self-luminous: It needs no other light to reveal it.

Beyond the five sheaths: Body, prāṇa, mind, intellect, and even bliss are not the Self.

Witness of the three states: It remains unchanged through waking, dreaming, and deep sleep.

Actionless and pure: It neither changes nor is tainted by experience.

Ever-blissful: Bliss is its very nature, not a passing feeling.

Liberation is recognition, not acquisition — knowing this Self as “I am That.”

HAVE A BRIGHT AND CHEERFUL DAY
