I want to understand the truth · I seek deeper knowledge · I want to see things clearly
न हि ज्ञानेन सदृशं पवित्रमिह विद्यते |
na hi jñānena sadṛśaṃ pavitramiha vidyate .
इस लोक में ज्ञान के समान पवित्र करने वाला, निसंदेह, कुछ भी नहीं है। योग में संसिद्ध पुरुष स्वयं ही उसे (उचित) काल में आत्मा में प्राप्त करता है।।
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.
ज्ञानं तेऽहं सविज्ञानमिदं वक्ष्याम्यशेषतः |
jñānaṃ te.ahaṃ savijñānamidaṃ vakṣyāmyaśeṣataḥ .
मैं तुम्हारे लिए विज्ञान सहित इस ज्ञान को अशेष रूप से कहूँगा जिसको जानकर यहाँ (जगत् में) फिर और कुछ जानने योग्य (ज्ञातव्य) शेष नहीं रह जाता है।।
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.
