Adhyāya 34: Kṣetrajña-Lakṣaṇa and the Araṇi Metaphor
Mind–Intellect Allegory
सम्यगुपायो दृष्टश्न॒ भ्रमरैरिव लक्ष्यते । कर्मबुद्धिरबुद्धित्वाज्ज्ञानलिज्जैरिवाश्रितम्
samyag upāyo dṛṣṭaś ca bhramarair iva lakṣyate | karmabuddhir abuddhitvāj jñānalijjair ivāśritam ||
婆罗门说道：“已洞见一条圆满而正当的途径，以证得那真实。舍弃那种‘想要看见’的作为时，它便自显自知——如同蜜蜂自能嗅得芬芳。然而执著于行为的智识，实为一种非智；它只貌似知识，却并非知识。故彼种证悟，不能凭单纯的作为而得。”

Educational Q&A
Realization is not produced by action; it becomes evident when the compulsive effort of ‘doing’ and the action-centered mindset are relinquished. Karma-oriented intellect can mimic knowledge but does not equal liberating insight.
A Brahmin speaker instructs the listener using an analogy: just as bees find fragrance without forcing it into being, the sought Reality is recognized naturally when one abandons the attempt to grasp it through activity.
