Verse 5.56.2

शास्त्रार्थगुरुचेतोभिस्तावत्तावद्विचार्यते ।
सर्वदृश्यक्षयाभ्यासाद्यावदासाद्यते पदम् ॥ २ ॥

śāstrārthagurucetobhistāvattāvadvicāryate |
sarvadṛśyakṣayābhyāsādyāvadāsādyate padam || 2 ||

You must consider all things by the light of the sastras, and dive into their true meaning; you will also benefit yourselves by the lectures of your preceptor, and by pondering on them in your own mind;as also by your constant practice of ignoring the visibles, until you come to know the invisible One.
