[[Comment_cn]]

这段咒语出自《古鲁之歌 (Guru Gita) 》的第 62段 (Gg.62)，此咒语或乐曲均是极佳的冥想唱诵和音乐。“Brahma” 的意思是：“Brahman / Supreme”，也即是“梵”，或者“最高精神、最高存在”；“Nandam” 的意思是“喜悦、喜乐”，“Brahma Nandam” 可以翻译成“最高、最胜的喜乐”。

这段唱诵告诉我们，最高的智慧，就是最胜的喜乐；换句话说，所谓“最胜喜乐”，就是获得超越二元性幻像世界的“智慧”。这段咒语既可以单独唱诵，也经常被当作《古鲁颂/上师颂》的一部分，与 “Guru Mantra” 等内容一道唱诵。

[[Appendix]]
• [ 补充说明：]
— 这段咒语出自《古鲁之歌 (Guru Gita) 》的第 62段 (Gg.62)，后面还有两句诗文，全段诗文如下：
	Brahmanandam parama sukhadam, kevalam jñaana murtim \| dvandvaatitam gagana sadrisham, tat-tvam-asyaadi-lakshyam \|\|
	Ekam nityam vimalam achalam, sarvaadhi saakshi bhutam \| bhaava-titam triguna rahitam, sad gurum tam namaami \|\|
	Nityam shuddham niraabhaasam, niraakaaram nirañjanam \| nitya bodham chidaanandam, gurum brahma namaamyaham \|\|
	—————— I bow to the Guru who is the infinite Ocean of Consciousness, beyond perception, beyond duality, beyond the three gunas and all formation. He is the embodiment of the bliss of Brahman and the bestower of ultimate happiness. He is the abode of knowledge and bliss, and is forever omniscient, omnipresent and vast like the sky.
	He is ekam – one; he is nityam – eternal; he is vimalam – free from impurities; he is achalam – steadfast; he is shuddham - pure; he is nirabhasam - without fallacious appearance; he is nirakaram - formless; he is nirañjanam - free from falsehood. He is the witness. To realize the great Vedantic mahavakya:“Tat Tvam Asi/Asya” - “Thou Art That”, is to become one with the Guru.
	—————— * tat tvam asya — Here we have the expression of one of the great Mahavakyas. Tat means ‘that’, tvam means ‘thou’ and asya means ‘art’. ‘THOU ART THAT’ (你就是它). Normally we see this written as 'asi' (tat tvam asi), but when 'i' precedes 'a', it turns into 'ya'.
