Word by word

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

In English

Meditating on the divine, having faith in the divine, concentrating on the divine, and losing themselves in the divine, their sins dissolve in wisdom, and they go from whence there is no return.

Translated by Shri Purohit Swami

Their intellect absorbed in That, their self being That, established in That, with That as their supreme goal, they go whence there is no return, their sins dispelled by knowledge.

Translated by Swami Sivananda

Test yourself
