आत्मानं तं न जानन्ति तत्राभ्यासपरा जनाः ॥३५॥
 
तत्र In this world अभ्यासपरा : taking to practices जना:
men शुद्ध' pure बुद्ध' intelligent प्रियं beloved पूर्ण perfect
निष्प्रपञ्च' beyond the visible universe निरामयं untainted
तम् that आत्मानं Self न not जानन्ति know.
 
35. In this world men' though taking
to diverse practices do not know the Self
which is pure, intelligent, beloved, perfect,
beyond the universe and free from any
taint.
 
[Men ect. i.e. if not free from attachment to
the world.
 
2 Beloved-The Self alone is the object of our
love. It is only on account of the Self that our love
is directed to the other objects of the world.
"None,
 
O dear, ever loved the husband for the husband's
sake; it is the Self, for the sake of which the husband
is loved." (Brih. Up. IV. 5. 6). Similar is the case
with all human love. Fools do not know this and
therefore love and become attached to things other
than the Self.]
 
नाप्नोति कर्मणा मोक्षं विमूढोऽभ्यासरूपिणा ।
