Prose-section 46
In plain words
Dispassion bears fruit in knowledge, knowledge in withdrawal, and withdrawal in the peace that comes from tasting one’s own bliss. If the later step is not reached, the earlier ones bear no fruit. Dispassion is complete when no tendency toward things to enjoy ever arises again. Knowledge is complete when the sense ‘I’ never again rises in the body and the rest. Withdrawal is complete when the mind, sunk into Brahman by unbroken practice, does not come out again even a little.
Word for word
Knowledge is the fruit of dispassion; withdrawal is the fruit of knowledge; and the peace arising through experience of one’s own bliss is the fruit of withdrawal. If the subsequent disciplines are not accomplished, the preceding ones are fruitless. The culmination of dispassion is that no disposition towards enjoyable objects subsequently arises. The culmination of knowledge is that ‘I’-identification with body and the rest never arises. The culmination of withdrawal is that mental movement, absorbed in Brahman through uninterrupted practice, does not emerge even slightly.
