9.2

राजविद्या राजगुह्यं पवित्रमिदमुत्तमम्
प्रत्यक्षावगमं धर्म्यं सुसुखं कर्तुमव्ययम्
॥ ९-२॥

rājavidyā rājaguhyaṁ pavitram idam
uttamam pratyakṣāvagamaṁ
dharmyaṁ su-sukhaṁ kartum avyayam

This knowledge is king of all knowledge and the most secret of all secrets. It is the purest knowledge, sacred, and because it gives direct perception of the Self by Self-realization, it is the perfection of religion, dharma. It is eternal, easy and it is very joyfully performed.

POWERFUL COGNITION

Whether you believe it or not, accept it or not, realize it or not, you are God. You have two choices. You can either sleep as long as you want to without experiencing this truth, or you can make the conscious choice to experience your enlightenment. But the truth is, 'You are That'.

अश्रद्दधानाः पुरुषा धर्मस्यास्य परन्तप ।
अप्राप्य मां निवर्तन्ते मृत्युसंसारवर्त्मनि
॥ ९-३ ॥

aśraddadhānāḥ puruṣā
dharmasyāsya parantapa
aprāpya māṁ nivartante
mṛtyu-saṁsāra-vartmani

Those who have no faith in this
knowledge cannot attain Me, O
Parantapa, conqueror of foes. They will
return to the path of birth and death in
this material world.

POWERFUL COGNITION

Have faith in dharma and it will lead you to the Ultimate.'
