कृत्वा मूर्तिपरिज्ञानं चैतन्यस्य न किं गुरुः, निर्वेदसमतायुक्त्या यस्तारयति संसृतेः। ॥6॥

kṛtvā mūrti-parijñānaṁ caitanyasya na kiṁ guruḥ, nirveda-samatā-yuktyā yastārayati saṁsṛteḥ. (6)

This verse suggests that a person who understands their true self as pure Consciousness, while remaining detached from worldly concerns and maintaining a balanced mind, is truly a spiritual guide who frees themselves from the cycle of life and death.
