Shloka (श्लोक)
सपर्शं तनुर वेद रसं तु जिह्वा;
घराणं च गन्धाञ शरवणे च शब्दान
रूपाणि चक्षुर न च तत्परं यद;
गृह्णन्त्य अनध्यात्मविदॊ मनुष्याः

Translations
English Translation
It elucidates that the physical senses—touch, taste, smell, hearing, and sight—perceive forms and attributes but fail to comprehend the supreme truth; thus, individuals lacking spiritual knowledge remain unaware of the deeper reality that transcends these sensory experiences.
हिंदी अनुवाद
यह बताता है कि भौतिक इन्द्रियाँ—स्पर्श, स्वाद, गंध, श्रवण, और दृष्टि—रूपों और विशेषताओं का अनुभव करती हैं लेकिन परम सत्य को नहीं समझ पाती; इस प्रकार, आध्यात्मिक ज्ञान से रहित व्यक्ति इन इन्द्रिय अनुभवों से परे की गहरी वास्तविकता से अनजान रहते हैं।
