He declares knowledge to be the weapon for slaying enemies. Taking the steel of dispassion and knowledge, one crosses beyond. The body’s senses are superior to the life-principles. Not only through mere scriptural statements about the supreme unmanifest can one attain Him, for the Vedic declaration states that even the unmanifest is known through the personal Lord. Liberation is not attained merely by knowledge of a single locale of declaration. The Lord’s universal withdrawal of the modes (guna‑upasana) is, as taught by the Lord, connected with bliss and so forth belonging to the supreme. Likewise, in the various impersonal Vedas and those dedicated to Vishnu, wherever the modes are declared and where traditions exist, by knowing the Lord there one attains Him; liberation arises only for them and not otherwise, as Garuda says. Hence the unmanifest too is to be known as supreme. The jiva does not desist upon seeing a higher taste, as said: ‘having not known the supreme, from Me is victory for desire’—therefore, here Supreme‑Knowledge alone is indicated. The self is known by mind, and the self by intellect.
