Sloka 31, Ulladu Narpadu - Part II / Ramana Maharshi / Indian Philosophy

English Translations:

1.     Truth  Revealed  / Grant Duff The states of (wakeful) action, of samadhi and of  sleep are to the Jnani, who is really asleep in the gross body, just like the movement of the cart, its standing still and its being unyoked are to the traveller sleeping in the cart.

2.    The Forty on Existence Sadhu Arunachala (Major A.W.Chadwick)

As are the movement, stopping, garaging Of a conveyance to a man who sleeps While they are happening, peacefully within, So work, At-one-ment, sleep are to a Man Of Wisdom, in repose with his frame, His mortal body-vehicle on earth.

Revelation / K. Lakshmana Sarma Just as, for one that has gone to sleep in a carriage, the three (states), namely the movement of the carriage, its standing  still somewhere, and its being left with the horses unyoked, are all alike, so to the Sage that is in the sleep of Self-Awareness in the carriage, namely the body, the three states, namely activity of the body, (its inactivity in) Samadhi and sleep are all alike.

Synopsis / Grant Duff. Having transcended the three states the Jnani abides merely as pure Consciousness, unaffected by the dispositions of the body and mind.
