Word by word

Tap a word to reveal its meaning. Say each one aloud as you go.

In English

But the ignorant man, and he who has no faith, and the skeptic are lost. Neither in this world nor elsewhere is there any happiness in store for him who always doubts.

Translated by Shri Purohit Swami

The ignorant, the faithless, and the doubting self go to destruction; there is neither this world nor the other, nor happiness for the doubting one.

Translated by Swami Sivananda

Test yourself
