Verse 7.22.1

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
ज्ञानेन ज्ञेयनिष्ठत्वाद्योऽचित्तं चित्तमेव च ।
न बुध्यते कर्मफलं स ज्ञानीत्यभिधीयते ॥ १ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
jñānena jñeyaniṣṭhatvādyo'cittaṃ cittameva ca |
na budhyate karmaphalaṃ sa jñānītyabhidhīyate || 1 ||

Vasishtha resumed:—The man who by his knowledge of the knowable one, hath placed his reliance in him; who hath set his mind to its pristine purity, by purging it from its worldly propensities, and has no faith in the merit of acts; is one who is called the truly wise.
