Verse 422

Tap any word for its meaning.

US-P18.011ab ।US-P18.011cd ॥

In plain words

An injunction gets its grip where what it calls for has not yet been attained, just as with action. So this injunction meets no contradiction for as long as saṃvedyatā is not firm — direct awareness of the Self has not yet become steady.

Close to the Sanskrit

As an injunction concerning action applies when its purpose has not been attained, so this injunction would remain unopposed as long as direct awareness of the Self is not firm.
