* Learned, men of knowledge, Saṅkara.* * The supreme, which is described as ‘truth, knowledge,’ &c. In our ancient works the truth often means the real.
* The state of being absorbed in the Brahman. Cf. Gita, p. 52.
* Cf. Katha, p. 158.
5 Sankara cites Apastamba (p. rr) in support of this, and Praśnopanishad, p. 256. The consciousness of being one with the Brahman is a new birth. See, too, Muṇḍaka, p. 282. ° That birth is not merely delusive, and does not result in death. T Immortality or final emancipation is not to be achieved without knowledge, which can only be got from a preceptor. And one is not perfect without that immortality; one is limited by the conditions of human existence. See Nirukta (Roth’s ed.), p. 41.
* Sankara compares. Svetâsvatara, p. 374 ; see also p. 203 infra, The necessity of having a Guru is often insisted on even in the Upanishads. Cf Mundaka, p. 282; Khândogya, p. 264.
* Stated at the beginning of this speech, Saṅkara.*

5 Sankara cites Apastamba (p. 11) in support of this, and Praśnopanishad, p. 256. The consciousness of being one with the Brahman is a new birth. See also Muṇḍaka, p. 282. ° That birth is not merely illusory, and does not end in death. ᵀ Immortality, or final emancipation, cannot be achieved without knowledge, which can only be obtained from a preceptor. And one is not perfect without that immortality; one remains bound by the conditions of human existence. See Nirukta (Roth's ed.), p. 41.
