Commentary (टीका)
In this sloka, the emphasis is placed on the necessity of direct experience, aparokṣānubhava, as opposed to theoretical or verbal understanding alone. Just as a disease cannot be cured by merely saying the name of the medicine without actually consuming it, the attainment of mokṣa or liberation requires experiential knowledge of Brahman. This highlights the practical approach of Vedantic philosophy, where self-realization is not just an intellectual exercise but a holistic experience encompassing the entirety of one's being. Hence, practitioners are encouraged to seek a deeper understanding beyond mere scriptural study.
