भावार्थ:

इस लोक और परलोक के सम्पूर्ण भोगों में आसक्ति का अभाव और अहंकार का भी अभाव, जन्म, मृत्यु, जरा और रोग आदि में दुःख और दोषों का बार-बार विचार करना॥8॥

Translation

Humbleness; freedom from hypocrisy; non-violence; forgiveness; simplicity; service of the Guru; cleanliness of body and mind; steadfastness; and self-control; dispassion toward the objects of the senses; absence of egotism; keeping in mind the evils of birth, disease, old age, and death; non-attachment; absence of clinging to spouse, children, home, and so on; even-mindedness amidst desired and undesired events in life; constant and exclusive devotion toward Me; an inclination for solitary places and an aversion for mundane society; constancy in spiritual knowledge; and philosophical pursuit of the Absolute Truth—all these I declare to be knowledge, and what is contrary to it, I call ignorance.
