Translations
Verily, there is no purifier in this world like knowledge. He who is perfected in Yoga finds it within the Self in due time.
There is nothing in the world so purifying as wisdom; and he who is a perfect saint finds that at last within himself.
Indeed, there is nothing purifying here comparable to Knowledge. One who has become perfected over time through yoga, realizes That in their own heart.
इस मनुष्यलोकमें ज्ञानके समान पवित्र करनेवाला निःसन्देह दूसरा कोई साधन नहीं है। जिसका योग भली-भाँति सिद्ध हो गया है, वह (कर्मयोगी) उस तत्त्वज्ञानको अवश्य ही स्वयं अपने-आपमें पा लेता है।Commentary
There exists no purifier eal to knowledge of the Self. He who has attained perfection by the constant practice of Karma Yoga and Dhyana Yoga (the Yoga of meditation) will, after a time, find the knowledge of the Self in himself.
