Yajnavalkya Kanda. Adhyaya 4, Brahmana 5. Yajnavalkya and Maitreyi, again
New to these pages?
Each mantra is given four ways: the Sanskrit in its Devanagari script, the same sounds in Roman letters, an English translation set in our own voice, and then the line once more in plain words, for a first and unhurried reading.
Not every passage is opened to the same depth. A few central mantras carry the full cross-school commentary, where the schools are set side by side. The rest are kept here whole and faithful, set in their place but not expounded, so the book stays entire and nothing is dropped for being thought minor.
Where the schools read a line differently, the difference is kept open. None is crowned and none is corrected. Each is met on its own terms, and where they contradict, the contradiction is left standing for you to sit with.
Wealth buys no immortality
Then Maitreyi said, "Sir, if indeed this whole earth, filled with wealth, were mine, would I be immortal through it, or not?" "No," said Yajnavalkya. "Your life would be just like the life of those who have many possessions. But there is no hope of immortality through wealth."
Maitreyi asked, "Sir, if this whole earth, full of wealth, belonged to me, would I become immortal through it?" Yajnavalkya answered, "No. Your life would simply be like the life of the well-to-do. There is no hope of immortality (amrtatva) through wealth."
In the commentaries
Sankara takes this to establish that wealth belongs to the order of means and ritual, and can never purchase immortality; immortality comes only from the knowledge of the Self.
