That perfect awakening is attained by a careful investigation of the scripture constantly, day and night, not by pilgrimage nor by charity, nor by acquiring knowledge nor by the practice of meditation or yoga, not by austerity (penance) nor by religious rites. By none of these methods does illusion come to an end. They only lead to heaven and such other rewards, not to liberation. Delusion ends only when self-knowledge arises in one who has carefully studied and investigated this scripture.
