स्वरूपावस्थितिर्मुक्तिस्तद्भ्रंशोऽहंत्ववेदनम् ।
एतत्संक्षेपतः प्रोक्तं तज्ज्ञत्वाज्ञत्वलक्षणम् ॥ ५ ॥

etatsaṃkṣepataḥ proktaṃ tajjñatvājñatvalakṣaṇam || 5 ||

Know this as the shortest lesson, that I will give thee of the definitions of true knowledge and ignorance; that, it is the remaining in one's own true nature (swarupa or suiform state), that constitutes his highest knowledge and liberation; and his divergence from it to the knowledge of his ego (egoism—ahanta), is the cause of his ignorance, and leads him to the error and bondage of this world.
