Penjelasan

This verse uses a striking paradox. What is night for all beings, the self-controlled one is awake to; what beings are awake to is night for the sage who sees. The meaning is that the wise and the worldly live by opposite values. What absorbs ordinary people, such as gain, pleasure and status, holds no light for the sage, while the inner reality ordinary people ignore is where the sage is fully awake. The verse invites a reversal of what one considers important.
