4.38 Verily, there is no purifier in this world like knowledge. He who is perfected in Yoga finds it in the Self in time.

Why this verse: In this world, there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcendental knowledge. Such knowledge is the mature fruit of all mysticism. And one who has become accomplished in the practice of devotional service enjoys this knowledge within himself in due course of time.

BG 7.2Bhagavad Gītā

ज्ञानं तेऽहं सविज्ञानमिदं वक्ष्याम्यशेषतः |

jñānaṃ te.ahaṃ savijñānamidaṃ vakṣyāmyaśeṣataḥ .

7.2 I shall declare to thee in full this knowledge combined with realisation, after knowing which nothing more here remains to be known.

Why this verse: I shall tell you the most confidential knowledge and its realization, knowing which you will be released from the miseries of material existence.
