[ BHAGAVAD GITA · 2.52 · spoken by Krishna ]
One day even the scriptures will have nothing left to give you.
When your intellect crosses beyond the mire of delusion, you will grow indifferent to all that has been heard — and all that is yet to be heard.
SANSKRIT
यदा ते मोहकलिलं बुद्धिर्व्यतितरिष्यति । तदा गन्तासि निर्वेदं श्रोतव्यस्य श्रुतस्य च ॥२-५२॥
KRISHNA’S LINE
“While you are in the swamp, the teachings are your rope. Hold it with everything. But the day you reach the far shore, you will set it down — not in contempt, in completion.”
