Mundaka Upanishad 5.8
intermediate
न चक्षुषा गृह्यते नापि वाचा नान्यैर्देवैस्तपसा कर्मणा वा। ज्ञानप्रसादेन विशुद्धसत्त्वस्ततस्तु तं पश्यते निष्कलं ध्यायमानः॥
na cakṣuṣā gṛhyate nāpi vācā nānyairdevaistapasā karmaṇā vā | jñānaprasādena viśuddhasattvastatstu taṃ paśyate niṣkalaṃ dhyāyamānaḥ ||
"It is not grasped by the eye, nor by speech, nor by other senses, nor by tapas or karma. Through the grace of wisdom, when the being is purified, one sees the partless One in meditation."
What This Means:
The Self can't be caught by senses, speech, or even by austerity and action. When inner clarity comes by grace and the being is pure, meditation reveals the undivided One.
Going Deeper:
"Jnana-prasada" (grace of knowledge) indicates that final seeing is a gift, not a achievement - though it comes after purification.
How To Apply This:
Purify yourself, then let grace reveal what effort cannot grasp.
