The jñāni is beyond Māyā and free of the guṇas. The jijñāsu is not so: giving no room to any other expectation, he spends his time constantly in thoughts of God, in good conduct and in good thoughts. Then the arthārthī and the ārta, step by step, inquire into the matter and, through sādhana and faith, turn into jijñāsus; and by that way they are able to reach Jñāna. Taking refuge in it, they cross over.
