पुंसामयत्नलभ्यं ज्ञानवतामव्ययं पदं नूनम् । यद्यात्मन्यात्मज्ञानमात्रमेते समोहन्ते ॥११॥
Meaning : I convey with conviction that the aspirants who search for spiritual knowledge alone, and nothing else, effortlessly attain Nirvana.
श्रयते सुवर्णभावं सिद्धरसस्पृशतो यथा लोहम् ।
प्रात्मध्यानादात्मा परमात्मत्वं तथाप्नोति ॥१२॥ Meaning : By meditating on the soul, the soul becomes the Pure soul, just as iron becomes gold with the touch of the Siddha Ras (magic potion).
जन्मान्तरसंस्कारात्स्वयमेव किल प्रकाशते तत्त्वम् । सुप्तोत्थितस्य पूर्व-प्रत्ययवान्नरूपदेशमपि ॥१३॥
Meaning : The true reality is revealed to the yogi, without any body else's enlightening words, due to the legacy of his own cycles of past births; as on awakening, actions prior to sleeping are recalled.
अथवा गुरुप्रसादादिहैव तत्त्वं समुन्मिपति ननम् ।
गुरुचरणोपास्तिकृतः प्रशमजुषः शुद्धचित्तस्य ।।१४।। Meaning : Or even without a legacy of the previous births, knowledge of the self is born in a devoted, equanimous, and pure hearted pupil through the guru's favour.
तत्र प्रथमे तत्त्वज्ञाने संवादको गुरुर्भवति ।
दर्शयिता त्वपरस्मिन् गुरुमेव सदा भजेत्तस्मात् ॥१५॥ Meaning : In the previous births guru alone is the preacher of true knowledge as also in the births to Twelfth Chapter
