Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
जब तुम्हारी बुद्धि मोह के दलदल को पार कर जाएगी, तब तुम सुने हुए और सुनने योग्य विषयों के प्रति वैराग्य (निर्वेद) प्राप्त करोगे।
English Translation
When your intellect crosses beyond the mire of delusion, you will attain indifference to what has been heard and what is yet to be heard.
Commentary (टीका)
When delusion is transcended, one becomes dispassionate toward all scriptural and worldly knowledge — not because it is worthless, but because one has arrived at direct experience. The map becomes unnecessary once you reach the destination. This represents the highest stage of wisdom where knowledge transforms into being.
