na hi jñānena sadṛśaṃ pavitramiha vidyate | tatsvayaṃ yogasaṃsiddhaḥ kālenātmani vindati ||4.38||
Translation (अनुवाद)
In this world, there is nothing as purifying as knowledge (jñāna) of the Self. One who is perfected in yoga (yoga), in time, naturally attains this knowledge in oneself.
इस संसार में आत्मज्ञान के समान पवित्र कुछ भी नहीं है। योग में सिद्ध हुआ मनुष्य स्वयं में ही समय के साथ इस ज्ञान को प्राप्त कर लेता है।

Commentary (टीका)
This verse emphasizes the supreme purifying power of *jñāna* (knowledge) in comparison to any other purification methods. It highlights that true understanding of the Self is unparalleled in its piousness. The commentary underscores that in human life, only through the consistent practice and mastery of *karma yoga* (the yoga of action) and *dhyāna yoga* (the yoga of meditation), can one ultimately realize the true Self. The Hindi and English commentaries both emphasize that the realization of the Self, analogous to the attainment of the highest form of purity, is inevitable to the one who is persistent and perfected in yogic practices. The key insight is that in due time, through dedicated and selfless practice, one attains this knowledge inherently within oneself without the need for external means or intermediary guidance. The emphasis is on self-effort and intrinsic realization, laying a stress on *sva-prakāsha* (self-effulgence) of the *ātman*.
