By Sāṅkhya and the Vedāntic statements one knows the nature of the Lord as taught in scripture. Even for karmīs: hearing, knowing, meditating — thus vision arises. Having known and meditated, the śrāvakas (listeners) also see. Likewise the Sāṅkhyas meditate. The Gauḍapāda tradition says: one who has acted and then heard, known and meditated, perceives; the śrāvaka who thus knows and meditates also sees the knowable. Otherwise such vision could not arise. This method is also provided as a means for those who are unable (to proceed otherwise).
