હૃદયપ્રદીપ જ્ઞાન અને સુખની પ્રાપ્તિ માટે પ્રયત્ન કરવો અને તેથી વ્યતિરિક્ત યોગ, જ્ઞાન અને સુખની ઉપેક્ષા કરવી, તેની પ્રાપ્તિ માટે પ્રયત્ન ન કરવો. Explanation - Conquest of the mind is crucial to' self-realization. Kņowledge and meditation are respectively the theoretical and the practical arms of spiritual aspiration. This verse, therefore, elaborately explains the purest state of right knowledge, meditation and the joy attained thereupon.
Immersion of the mind in self-attention and ultimately, the merger of the mind into the 'self' is the highest meditation. Constant reflection on substances and their discernment into (1) those to be known, (2) those to be owned and (3) those to be disowned, is the ultimate knowledge. Complete absorption of the 'self' within itself is the greatest bliss. These three attainments are the real essence of human existence.
