अविज्ञाते परे तत्त्वे शास्त्राधीतिस्तु निष्फला ।विज्ञातेऽपि परे तत्त्वे शास्त्राधीतिस्तु निष्फला ॥ ६१ ॥
In plain words
If you haven't realized the supreme Truth, studying scripture gets you nowhere. And once you have realized it, studying scripture gets you nowhere either.
Close to the Sanskrit
When the supreme Reality is unknown, the study of scripture is indeed fruitless. Even when the supreme Reality is known, the study of scripture is [then, too] fruitless.
