दोलायितं तु संदेहाद्दुःखमास्ते कुनिश्चयम् ।
विकल्पेनैवमस्यैतज्ज्ञानान्नाल्पेन यास्यति ॥ ६ ॥

dolāyitaṃ tu saṃdehādduḥkhamāste kuniścayam |
vikalpenaivamasyaitajjñānānnālpena yāsyati || 6 ||

Know now that the uncertainty of knowledge, which, keeps the mind in suspense, is the cause of great woe to mankind; and that there is no way of getting rid of it except of the true knowledge of tattwajnana.
