Greater is their trouble whose minds are set on the unmanifested, for the goal of the unmanifested is very hard for the embodied to reach.

Swami Sivananda

For those whose minds are attached to the Unmanifested, the struggle is greater; for the Goal, which is the Unmanifest, is attained with difficulty by the embodied ones.

Swami Gambirananda

Follows the commentary of Shankara (Advaita).

Greater is the difficulty for those whose minds are thus attached to the unmanifest, for the way of the unmanifest is hard to reach for embodied beings.

Swami Adidevananda

Follows the commentary of Ramanuja (Vishishtadvaita).

But the trouble is much greater for those who have their minds fixed on the Unmanifest, for it is difficult for those with physical bodies to attain the Unmanifest goal.

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Follows the commentary of Abhinavagupta (Kashmir Shaivism).

But they who fix their attention on the Absolute and Impersonal encounter greater hardships, for it is difficult for those who have a body to realize Me as without one.

Shri Purohit Swami

अव्यक्तमें आसक्त चित्तवाले उन साधकोंको (अपने साधनमें) कष्ट अधिक होता है; क्योंकि देहाभिमानियोंके द्वारा अव्यक्त-विषयक गति कठिनतासे प्राप्त की जाती है।

Swami Ramsukhdas

परन्तु उन अव्यक्त में आसक्त हुए चित्त वाले पुरुषों को क्लेश अधिक होता है, क्योंकि देहधारियों से अव्यक्त की गति कठिनाईपूर्वक प्राप्त की जाती है।

Swami Tejomayananda
