Swami Adidevananda

"For there is no purifier equal to knowledge; he who is perfected in Karma Yoga finds this knowledge of his own accord in himself in due time."

Swami Gambirananda

"Indeed, there is nothing purifying here comparable to Knowledge. One who has become perfected over time through yoga, realizes That in their own heart."

Swami Sivananda

"Verily, there is no purifier in this world like knowledge. He who is perfected in Yoga finds it within the Self in due time."

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

"In this world, there exists no purifier comparable to knowledge. One who becomes perfect in Yoga finds this, of their own accord, in their Self in due course."

Shri Purohit Swami

"There is nothing in the world so purifying as wisdom; and he who is a perfect saint finds that at last within himself."
