Dhammapada Verse 25.13

Sanskrit Verse

नाऽस्ति ध्यानमप्रज्ञस्य प्रज्ञा नाऽस्त्यध्यायतः । यस्मिन् ध्यानं च प्रज्ञा च स वै निर्वाणाऽन्तिके ॥ १३॥

Bhikkhu Ānandajoti's translation

There is no meditative concentration for one who lacks wisdom, and no wisdom for one who lacks meditative concentration. One in whom are found both meditative concentration and wisdom is indeed close to Nibbána.
