Pivotal turning point. The teacher warns: if you think you have understood Brahman, you have understood only a fragment — never the whole. Confidence in spiritual knowing is itself the disqualification.
(आचार्य कहता है:) यदि तू सोचता है कि मैं ब्रह्म को अच्छी तरह जानता हूँ, तो वास्तव में तू उसके स्वरूप का अल्प भाग ही जानता है — चाहे अपने में, चाहे देवों में। अतः तुझे और विचार करना चाहिए। (शिष्य:) मैं समझता हूँ कि मैंने जान लिया।
अक्षरशः अनुवाद — मूल संस्कृत श्लोक के प्रत्येक पद का प्रत्यक्ष अर्थ।
(Teacher to student:) If you think you know Brahman well, in truth you know only a fragment of its form, whether of it in yourself or in the gods. Therefore Brahman is still to be inquired into by you. (Student:) I think I know it.

(आचार्य कहता है:) यदि तू सोचता है कि मैं ब्रह्म को अच्छी तरह जानता हूँ, तो वास्तव में तू उसके स्वरूप का अल्प भाग ही जानता है — चाहे अपने में, चाहे देवों में। सुरक्षित लगाव और श्रद्धा तनाव-प्रतिक्रिया को घटाते हैं: शरीर खतरे की तैयारी छोड़कर स्थिर होता है। यह पंक्ति उसी आश्रय को अपना विषय बनाती है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
