knowledge of Brahman. Of what avail are the Vedas and scriptures, Mantras and medicines to such a one?
न गच्छति विना पानं व्याधिरौषधशब्दतः । विनाऽपरोक्षानुभवं ब्रह्मशब्दैर्न मुच्यते ॥ ६२ ॥
62. A disease does not leave off if one simply utter the name of the medicine, without taking it; (similarly) without direct realisation one cannot be liberated by the mere utterance of the word Brahman.
अकृत्वा दृश्यविलयमज्ञात्वा तत्त्वमात्मनः ।om ब्रह्मशब्दैः कुतो मुक्तिरुक्तिमात्रफलैर्नृणाम् ॥ ६३ ॥
63. Without' causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the Self, how is one to achieve Liberation by the mere utterance of the word Brahman ?-It would result merely in an effort of speech.
['Without &c.-By realising one's identity with Brahman, the One without a second, in Samadhi, one becomes the pure Chit (Knowledge Absolute), and the duality of subject and object vanishes altogether. Short of this, Ignorance which is the cause of all evil is not destroyed.]
अकृत्वा शत्रुसंहारमगत्वाखिलभूश्रियम् । राजाहमिति शब्दान्नो राजा भवितुमर्हति ॥ ६४ ॥
