Vedantasara - Verse 31

Sanskrit

स गुरुः परमकृपयाध्यारोपापवादन्यायेनैनमुपदिशति “तस्मै स विद्वानुपसन्नया सम्यक् प्रशान्तचित्ताय शमान्विताय । येनाक्षरं पुरुषं वेद सत्यं प्रोवाच तां तत्त्वतो ब्रह्मविद्याम् ॥” (मुण्ड उ १.२.१३) इत्यादिश्रुतेः

Swami Nikhilananda's Translation

Such a Guru through his infinite grace instructs the pupil by the method of de-superimposition (Apavada) of the superimpositions (Adhyaropa) – as in such Sruti passages: “To that pupil who has approached him with due courtesy, whose mind has become perfectly calm, and who has control over his senses, the wise teacher should truly impart that Knowledge of Brahman through which he knows the Being, imperishable and real” (Mund. Up. I-2-13).
