TEXT 6

eke tvākhila-karmāṇi
sannyasyopaśamaṁ gatāḥ
jñānino jñāna-yajñena
yajanti jñāna-vigraham

SYNONYMS

eke—some; tvā—to You; akhila—all; karmāṇi—activities; sannyasya—resigning; upaśamam—peace; gatāḥ—attaining; jñāninaḥ—pursuers of knowledge; jñāna-yajñena—by the sacrifice of cultivating knowledge; yajanti—they worship; jñāna-vigraham—the embodiment of knowledge.

TRANSLATION

In pursuit of spiritual knowledge, some persons renounce all material activities and, having thus become peaceful, perform the sacrifice of philosophic investigation to worship You, the original form of all knowledge.

PURPORT

Modern philosophers pursue knowledge without bothering to worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and thus they naturally end up with meager, if not trivial, results.
