Yaa nishaa sarvabhootaanaam - Selected Verses of Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 02, Verse 69

'Selected Verses of Bhagavad Gita' recounts only selected verses of The Gita, which Krishna has said as it is. If you are pressed against time to go through around 700 verses of Bahgavad Gita, then this is the right place for you. This collection of verses is brought to you after years of listening to Bhagavad Gita from different sources.

Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 02, Verse 69
English:
Yaa nishaa sarvabhootaanaam tasyaam jaagarti samyamee
Yasyaam jaagrati bhootaani saa nishaa pashyato muneh
Sanskrit: 
या निशा सर्वभुतानां तस्यां जागर्ति संयमी
यस्यां जाग्रति भूतनि सा निशा पश्यतो मूनेः
Oriya: 
ଯା ନିଶା ସର୍ବଭୂତାନାମ୍ ତସ୍ୟାମ୍ ଜାଗର୍ତି ସଂଯମୀ
ଯସ୍ୟାମ୍ ଜାଗ୍ରତି ଭୂତାନି ସା ନିଶା ପଶ୍ୟତୋ ମୁନେଃ

Selected word meaning:
yaa - what, nishaa - is night, sarva - all, bhutaanaam - of living beings, tasyaam - in that, jaagarti - wakeful, samyamee - the self controlled, yasyaam - that in which, jagrati - awake, bhootaani - all living beings, saa - that is, nishaa - night, pashyatah - for the introspective, muneh - sage

Translation:
That which is night to all beings, then the self controlled man is awake, when all beings are awake, that is night for the introspective sage.

Commentary of Sri Swami Sivananda: The sage lives in the Self; this is day to him. He is unconscious of worldly phenomena; this is like night to him. The ordinary man is unconscious of his real nature. So life in the Self is like night to him. He experiences sense-objects; this is day to him.

Further Note:
This verse of Bhagavad Gita has prime importance in the life of Sri Thakura Nigamananda Paramahansa. Nalinikanta was his name before taking snnyas. His association with his wife stayed only for a few years after marriage. Nalinikanta was not present when his beloved wife breathed her last. His wife, on death bed told her aunt to tell her husband, Nalinikanta, to practice 'Nistraigunya' and not get married again. Nalinikanta was obsessed with her wife and followed her words and did not marry after her death. Instead, he started his spiritual quest for existence of life after death and became a prominent yogi of modern India.
