जानन्नपि न जानाति पश्यन्नपि न पश्यति, ब्रुवन्नपि न च ब्रूते कोऽन्यो निर्वासनादृते। ॥88॥
jānannapi na jānāti paśyannapi na paśyati, bruvannapi na ca brūte ko'nyo nirvāsanādṛte. (88)
This verse suggests that a person who is free from desires truly understands life in a deeper way, even if they seem unaware, and their silence holds more wisdom than mere words. It highlights the idea that true knowledge and perception go beyond ordinary understanding and expression.
