यथैधांसि समिद्धोऽग्निर्भस्मसात्कुरुतेऽर्जुन । ज्ञानाग्निः सर्वकर्माणि भस्मसात्कुरुते तथा ॥ ४-३७ ॥

न हि ज्ञानेन सदृशं पवित्रमिह विद्यते । तत्स्वयं योगसंसिद्धः कालेनात्मनि विन्दति ॥ ४-३८ ॥

sanskrit

Indeed, there is nothing purifying here comparable to Knowledge. One who has become perfected after a (long) time throughthe constant practice of Karma Yoga and Dhyana Yoga (the Yoga of meditation), realizes That by himself in his own heart.

english translation

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।

He who has faith, who is intent on it, and who has mastered his senses, attains knowledge. Having attained knowledge, he goes soon to eternal peace or salvation.

जो जितेन्द्रिय तथा साधन-परायण है, ऐसा श्रद्धावान् मनुष्य ज्ञानको प्राप्त होता है और ज्ञानको प्राप्त होकर वह तत्काल परम शान्तिको प्राप्त हो जाता है।

अज्ञश्चाश्रद्दधानश्च संशयात्मा विनश्यति । नायं लोकोऽस्ति न परो न सुखं संशयात्मनः ॥ ४-४० ॥

The ignorant, the faithless and the doubting one perish; for the doubting one there is neither this world, nor that beyond, nor happiness.
