- Commentary:
=== कर्ता-क्रिया-विधान / S-V-O Tuples ===
  This profound verse emphasizes the central tenet of Vedantic philosophy—that true liberation (moksha) is only achievable through self-realization, specifically the realization of the oneness of the soul (ātman) with Brahman, the ultimate reality. The verse critiques ritualistic and superficial religious practices, such as merely chanting scriptures, performing rituals, or worshipping deities, as insufficient means to achieve true liberation. These practices, while valuable in their own right, do not lead to moksha without the essential understanding of one's true nature.

  The mention of "even after a hundred lifetimes of Brahma" signifies the immeasurable and prolonged effort that would still be futile without self-realization. Brahma, the creator god in Hindu cosmology, is said to have an incredibly long lifespan; thus, the verse warns against complacency in spiritual practices that lack depth and insight.

* [[mukti|mukti (मुक्ति)]]
* [[brāhmaṇda-kālpa|brāhmaṇda-kālpa (ब्रह्मांड-कल्प)]]
* [[karma|karma (कर्म)]]


  This critique is not to dissuade individuals from engaging in these practices but rather to urge a deeper understanding and pursuit of spiritual knowledge that transcends ritualistic confines. It encourages the seeker to look within for the unitive knowledge that ātman and Brahman are one, which is the cornerstone of Advaita Vedanta philosophy.
=== Categories (वर्गीकरण) ===
* Liberation
* Self-Realization
* Vedantic Philosophy
 
=== Commentary (टीका) ===
This verse emphasizes the necessity of ''ātmaikyabodha'', the realization of the unity of the Self, for achieving ''mukti'' or liberation. Regardless of religious rituals, worship, or scriptural study, without self-realization, enlightenment remains elusive. This highlights Vedantic philosophy, where knowing the true self is supreme. The verse uses the metaphor of countless ages of Brahma to stress that external practices alone cannot lead to liberation—it is internal recognition of unity that matters. The verse critiques mechanical spiritual practices not grounded in self-awareness, aligning with the non-dualistic tenets of Advaita Vedanta.
