He who has self-knowledge remains untouched by good and bad even internally, as the sky cannot be contaminated by the presence of smoke in it.॥3॥

तज्ज्ञस्य पुण्यपापाभ्यां 

स्पर्शो ह्यन्तर्न जायते।

न ह्याकाशस्य धूमेन 

दृश्यमानापि सङ्गतिः॥४- ३॥

उस (ब्रह्म) को जानने वाले के अन्तःकरण से पुण्य और पाप का स्पर्श नहीं होता है जिस प्रकार आकाश में दिखने वाले धुएँ से आकाश का संयोग नहीं होता है॥३॥

He who has self-knowledge remains untouched by good and bad even internally, as the sky cannot be contaminated by the presence of smoke in it.॥3॥
