Word by word
Tap a word to reveal its meaning. Say each one aloud as you go.
In English
One hears of the Spirit with surprise, another thinks it marvelous, the third listens without comprehending. Thus, though many are told about it, scarcely is there one who knows it.
Translated by Shri Purohit Swami
One sees this (the Self) as a wonder; another speaks of it as a wonder; another hears of it as a wonder; yet, having heard, none understands it at all.
Translated by Swami Sivananda
Test yourself
