तस्माज्जिज्ञासयाऽऽत्मानमात्मस्थं केवलं परम् । सङ्गम्य निरसेदेतद्वस्तुबुद्धिं यथाक्रमम् ।। ११-१०-११ ।।

sanskrit

Therefore, by the cultivation of knowledge one should approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead situated within oneself. By understanding the Lord’s pure, transcendental existence, one should gradually give up the false vision of the material world as independent reality. ।। 11-10-11 ।।

आचार्योऽरणिराद्यः स्यादन्तेवास्युत्तरारणिः । तत्सन्धानं प्रवचनं विद्यासन्धिः सुखावहः ।। ११-१०-१२ ।।

sanskrit

The spiritual master can be compared to the lower kindling stick, the disciple to the upper kindling stick, and the instruction given by the guru to the third stick placed in between. The transcendental knowledge communicated from guru to disciple is compared to the fire arising from the contact of these, which burns the darkness of ignorance to ashes, bringing great happiness both to guru and disciple. ।। 11-10-12 ।।

वैशारदी सातिविशुद्धबुद्धिर्धुनोति मायां गुणसम्प्रसूताम् । गुणांश्च सन्दह्य यदात्ममेतत् स्वयं च शाम्यत्यसमिद्यथाग्निः ।। ११-१०-१३ ।।

sanskrit

By submissively hearing from an expert spiritual master, the expert disciple develops pure knowledge, which repels the onslaught of material illusion arising from the three modes of material nature. Finally this pure knowledge itself ceases, just as fire ceases when the stock of fuel has been consumed. ।। 11-10-13 ।।

अथैषां कर्मकर्तॄणां भोक्तॄणां सुखदुःखयोः । नानात्वमथ नित्यत्वं लोककालागमात्मनाम् ।। ११-१०-१४ ।।

sanskrit

My dear Uddhava, I have thus explained to you perfect knowledge. There are philosophers, however, who challenge My conclusion. They state that the natural position of the living entity is to engage in fruitive activities, and they see him as the enjoyer of the happiness and unhappiness that accrue from his own work. ।। 11-10-14 ।।

मन्यसे सर्वभावानां संस्था ह्यौत्पत्तिकी यथा । तत्तदाकृतिभेदेन जायते भिद्यते च धीः ।। ११-१०-१५ ।।

sanskrit

According to this materialistic philosophy, the world, time, the revealed scriptures and the self are all variegated and eternal, existing as a perpetual flow of transformations. Knowledge, moreover, cannot be one or eternal, because it arises from the different and changing forms of objects; thus knowledge itself is always subject to change. ।। 11-10-15 ।।
