Sanskrit Original
शरीरे सति वै क्लेशः सो ऽविद्यां संत्यजेद्बुधः। अविद्यां विद्यया हित्वा स्थितस्यैव च योगिनः।।
śarīre sati vai kleśaḥ so 'vidyāṃ saṃtyajedbudhaḥ| avidyāṃ vidyayā hitvā sthitasyaiva ca yoginaḥ||
Sūta said: There is distress and pain only when there is body. Hence, the learned shall eschew Avidyā (ignorance, illusion). Only if the yogin eschews Avidyā by means of Vidyā do anger, virtue, evil etc. perish, O brahmins. If they perish the (Ātman) is not united further with the physical body. He is liberated from mundance existence. He is devoid of the three types of miseries.[33] Thus, O leading brahmins, the meditator cannot meditate without perfect knowledge.
