वेदगम्यः परः शुद्ध इति मे धीयते मतिः ।
अध्यात्मध्यानसंभूतभूतं दीपवत्स्फुटम् ।
ज्ञानं विद्धि शुभाचारे तेन यान्ति परां गतिम् ॥
veda-gamyaḥ paraḥ śuddha iti me dhīyate matiḥ ||
adhyātma-dhyāna-saṁbhūta-bhūtaṁ dīpavat sphuṭam |
jñānaṁ viddhi śubhācāre tena yānti parāṁ gatim ||
(Mahābhārata: 12.220.100)
“[Bhīṣmadeva:] The pure Supreme is knowable through the Veda. This is my firmly held view. O you of fine conduct, know knowledge (jñāna) to be that which is born of meditation related to the higher self and [self-] evident like a lamp. Thereby, one attains the supreme destination.”
