intermediate
स यो ह वै तत्परमं ब्रह्म वेद ब्रह्मैव भवति नास्याब्रह्मवित्कुले भवति। तरति शोकं तरति पाप्मानं गुहाग्रन्थिभ्यो विमुक्तोऽमृतो भवति॥
sa yo ha vai tatparamaṃ brahma veda brahmaiva bhavati nāsyābrahmavitkule bhavati | tarati śokaṃ tarati pāpmānaṃ guhāgranthibhyo vimukto'mṛto bhavati ||
"One who knows that supreme Brahman becomes Brahman indeed. In their family, no one ignorant of Brahman is born. They cross over sorrow, cross over sin, freed from the knots of the heart, they become immortal."
What This Means:
The knower of Brahman becomes Brahman. Their family lineage becomes spiritually elevated. They transcend sorrow and sin, cut the heart's knots, become immortal.
Going Deeper:
"Brahmaiva bhavati" - this is the great statement: you become what you know. Knowing Brahman is being Brahman.
How To Apply This:
You become what you truly know. Know Brahman and be Brahman.
