Sanskrit Original
।।6.46।।ज्ञानिभ्यो योगज्ञानिभ्यः। तपस्विभ्यः कृच्छ्रादिचारिभ्यः। उक्तं च कृच्छ्रादेरपि यज्ञादेर्ध्यानयोगो विशिष्यते। तत्रापि शेषश्रीब्रह्मशिवादिध्यानतो हरेः। ध्यानं कोटिगुणं प्रोक्तमधिकं वा मुमुक्षुणाम् इति गारुडे।अज्ञात्वा ध्यायिनो ध्यानाज्ज्ञानमेव विशिष्यते। ज्ञात्वा ध्यानं ज्ञानमात्राद्ध्यानादपि तु दर्शनम्। दर्शनादपि भक्तेश्च न किञ्चित्साधनाधिकम् इति च नारदीये।
From the knowers and from those learned in yoga, from ascetics and from those undergoing hardships—the text distinguishes the yoga of meditation even from sacrificial rites and the like. Still, remaining is the meditation on Hari, Brahma, Shiva, etc. Meditation is said to be multiplied by crores, or more, for those desirous of liberation, says Garuda. Unconscious meditators, not knowing, are surpassed by mere knowledge. Knowing, meditation becomes mere knowledge; beyond meditation is vision; and beyond vision is devotion, which is not surpassed by any other means, says Narada.
