Not through discourse, not through the intellect,
Not even through study of the scriptures
Can the Self be realized.
The Self reveals Himself to the one who longs for the Self.
Those who long for the Self with all their heart are chosen by the Self as his own.

Not by the weak, not by the unearnest,
Not by those who practice wrong disciplines
Can the Self be realized.
The Self reveals Himself as the Lord of Love to the one who practices right disciplines.
