Verse 6.41.11

यावत्किंचिदिदं वस्तु नाना नात्मावगम्यताम् ।
क्रमा गुरूपदेशाद्या नात्मज्ञानस्य कारणम् ॥ ११ ॥

yāvatkiṃcididaṃ vastu nānā nātmāvagamyatām |
kramā gurūpadeśādyā nātmajñānasya kāraṇam || 11 ||

The paths of learning and the lectures of a preceptor, are not the proper means to the knowledge of the soul, until one comes to know the unity of this thing by his own intuition.
