with well being of it, treading the same path himself in his life. in this way, the realised is well balanced and wakeful in his soul alone.
Futility of the advice to the Ignorant.
अज्ञापितं न जानन्ति यथा मां ज्ञापितं तथा। मूढात्मानस्ततस्तेषां वृथा मे ज्ञापनश्रमः ।। ५८।।
Those who on advising themselves are infatueted thereof and are prepared to pass by along. with and in conformity with the advice. Then the advice is sown in proper and well laboured and cultivated mind; and there is a well fructificity. in those who are not unfortunately destined to receive some advice from some Guru, the preceptor, it matters not if they do not know what soul is; but if those whom proper advice is given are confronted to the essential nature of the soul, are made cognized of what is worthy and un-worthy, yet do not know the nature of the soul, do not relieve themselves of the passions, threatenedness and temptations of the external world, then it is futile and fruitless to advise them.
