Know that through submission, inquiry, and service. The wise who see the truth will teach you that knowledge.

Method of acquiring knowledge. Praṇipātena — through reverent submission, prostration — is the first step, indicating humility.

Paripraśnena — through inquiry, investigation — is the second step, indicating active participation. Sevayā — through service — is the third step, demonstrating commitment. The jñāninaḥ tattva-darśinaḥ — wise who see reality — teach those who thus approach. Without these three, knowledge is not transmitted.
