“Jñāna-siddhi is purely a matter of the antaḥkaraṇa; it is attained slowly. Man does not build up that much patience in himself. People give importance only to the gross body. Ordinary people strengthen only their connection with it. Because they are attached to desires, they do not hope for ‘Jñāna-siddhi’; they hope for ‘karma-siddhi’. In the world, those gripped by sense objects are many, but those gripped by inquiry are few. Those gripped by sense objects constantly hold as their standard only the nourishing of the body and only what is directly visible. They remain intent on that thought alone. Those gripped by inquiry long for the nourishment of the spirit, and strive for the attainment of constant sākṣātkāra, to show forth that all is the tattva of Brahman. Into that alone they put their time and their karma. This is the right path. Since karmopāsana is a crooked path, it is My duty to set the karmas of Dharma and the inquiry of Jñāna, which are the right path, within their proper limits, to establish them, and to make known their truth to the world. But, brother-in-law, there is one thing fit for the establishment of Dharma; listen: it is called the ‘cāturvarṇa vyavasthā’. This I have created in four kinds, according to people's karmas and guṇas.”
