Vedantasara - Verse 188

Sanskrit

फलं तु प्रकरणप्रतिपाद्यस्यात्मज्ञानस्य तदनुष्ठानस्य वा तत्र तत्र श्रूयमाणं प्रयोजनम् । यथा तत्र “आचार्यवान्पुरुषो वेद तस्य तावदेव चिरं यावन्न विमोक्ष्येथ सम्पत्स्ये” (६.१४.२) इत्यद्वितीयवस्तुज्ञानस्य तत्प्राप्तिः प्रयोजनं श्रूयते

Swami Nikhilananda's Translation

The result is the utility of the subject-matter of a section – e.g., Self-knowledge – or its practice as mentioned at different places. As, for instance, in the same section, the words, “The man who has got a teacher knows the Brahman. He has to wait only till he is delivered from the body; then he becomes united with Brahman” (VI-14-2). Here the utility of the knowledge of Brahman, the One without a second, is Its attainment.
