अर्थ

यह गहन श्लोक आत्मज्ञानी स्थितप्रज्ञ मुनि के अन्तर्जीवन का वर्णन करता है। जिस ओर सामान्य प्राणी उदासीन रहते हैं — शाश्वत आत्मा और आध्यात्मिक सत्य — उसी में ज्ञानी पूर्णतः जागता और तल्लीन रहता है। और जिसके लिए संसार जागता रहता है — विषय और सांसारिक भोग — वह मुनि के लिए रात्रि के समान है, जिसमें वह कोई सार नहीं देखता। यह आत्मज्ञान से उत्पन्न दृष्टि के पूर्ण परिवर्तन को प्रकट करता है।

उत्पत्ति और कथा

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2, Verse 69 · Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva) · Ancient (text compiled c. 5th–2nd century BCE)

Toward the end of the second chapter, Sankhya Yoga, Krishna describes the sthitaprajna — the person of steady, established wisdom. This verse is part of that portrait, illustrating the inner reversal of vision in one who is established in Self-knowledge, awake to the eternal while detached from the fleeting world.

शास्त्रों में वर्णित

Sages say that one who truly grasps this verse begins to live a kind of 'waking sleep' in the world — present and active outwardly, yet inwardly absorbed in the changeless Self, untouched by the agitations that rob ordinary minds of peace.

श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता २.६९ — या निशा सर्वभूतानां जप विधि

जप संख्या11बार
उत्तम समयEarly morning (Brahma Muhurta) or before meditation; also at night before sleep for reflection

Recite this verse slowly and contemplate its meaning rather than chanting it mechanically. Reflect on what you are 'awake' to during the day — and gently turn your awareness toward the inner Self that the sage is awake to. It is an excellent verse for nightly self-inquiry and for settling the mind before meditation, helping you withdraw from outer distractions into inner stillness.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

The verse uses 'night' and 'awake' metaphorically. The sage is 'awake' (alert and absorbed) in the knowledge of the eternal Self, which ordinary people treat as 'night' (ignore). Conversely, worldly sense pursuits, which keep the world 'awake', are 'night' to the sage — he sees no real value in them.
The muni is the sthitaprajna — the person of steady wisdom described throughout the latter part of chapter 2. Such a sage has realised the Self, withdrawn the mind from sense objects, and lives established in inner truth and peace.
No, it is entirely symbolic. It is not about literal sleeping and waking but about where one's awareness and interest are directed. The sage is inwardly awake to the Self while remaining detached from the worldly concerns that absorb most people.
It invites self-examination: ask yourself what you are most 'awake' to. By gradually turning attention toward the eternal Self and away from endless sense pursuits, the seeker moves closer to the inner wakefulness and peace of the realised sage.
