Not Attained by Learning Alone

नायमात्मा प्रवचनेन लभ्यो न मेधया न बहुना श्रुतेन । यमेवैष वृणुते तेन लभ्यस्तस्यैष आत्मा विवृणुते तनूं स्वाम् ॥

nāyam ātmā pravachanena labhyo na medhayā na bahunā śhrutena, yam evaiṣha vṛiṇute tena labhyas tasyaiṣha ātmā vivṛiṇute tanūṁ svām

Meaning

The self is not attained through discourse, nor through great intellect, nor through much learning. It is attained only by the one it chooses; to that person it reveals its true nature.
