Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
'But, Sir, with all this I know the Mantras only, the sacred books, I do not know the Self. I have heard from men like you, that he who knows the Self overcomes grief. I am in grief. Do, Sir, help me over this grief of mine.' Sanatkumâra said to him: 'Whatever you have read, is only a name.
