Jñāna-pradarśanam
तत्त्वमस्यादिवाक्येभ्यो ज्ञानं मोक्षस्य साधनम् । ज्ञाने त्वनाहते सिद्धे सर्वं ब्रह्ममयं भवेत् ॥ ६८ ॥
tattvamasyādivākyebhyo jñānaṃ mokṣasya sādhanam | jñāne tvanāhate siddhe sarvaṃ brahmamayaṃ bhavet || 68 ||
Aus Mahāvākya-Aussagen wie „Tat tvam asi“ entsteht befreiendes Wissen, das Mittel zur Mokṣa. Wenn dieses Wissen fest gegründet ist, unberührt und unerschütterlich, wird alles als von Brahman durchdrungen erkannt.
