बन्ध मोक्षश्ध तृप्तिश्च चिन्ताऽऽरोग्यक्षुदादयः । स्वेनैव वेद्या यज्ज्ञानं परेषामानुमानिकम् ॥ ४७५ ॥
475. Bondage, liberation, satisfaction, an. xiety, recovery from illness, hunger and such other things are known only to the man concerned, and knowledge of these to others is a mere inference.1

[Inference: Others merely guess at them through signs. ]
तटस्थिता बोधयन्ति गुरवः श्रुतयो यथा । प्रज्ञयैव तरेद्विद्वानीश्वरानुगृहीतया ॥ ४७६ ॥
476. W The Gurus as well as the Srutis instruct the disciple, standing aloof; while the man of realisation crosses (Avidyâ) through Illumination alone, backed by the grace of God.
['Gurus &c.-This instruction is Paroksha or indirect, while the aspirant's own experience in Samâdhi is Aparoksha or direct. The former is the means to the latter. ] 1
स्वानुभूत्या स्वयं ज्ञात्वा स्वमात्मानमखण्डितम् ।
संसिद्धः सम्मुखं तिष्ठेन्निर्विकल्पात्मनाऽऽत्मनि ॥ ४७७ ॥
477. Himself knowing his indivisible Self through his own realisation and thus becoming perfect, a man should stand face to face1 with the Atman, with his mind free from dualistic ideas. ['Face to face-i. e., must live in the Atman. ]
