सात्त्विकान्येव सेवेत पुमान् सत्त्वविवृद्धये । ततो धर्मस्ततो ज्ञानं यावत् स्मृतिरपोहनम् ॥ ६ ॥

Transliteration

sāttvikāny eva seveta pumān sattva-vivṛddhaye tato dharmas tato jñānaṁ yāvat smṛtir apohanam
Synonyms
sāttvikāni — things in the mode of goodness; eva — indeed; seveta — he should cultivate; pumān — a person; sattva — the mode of goodness; vivṛddhaye — in order to increase; tataḥ — from that (increase in goodness); dharmaḥ — one is fixed in religious principles; tataḥ — from that (religion); jñānam — knowledge is manifest; yāvat — until; smṛtiḥ — self-realization, remembering one’s eternal identity; apohanam — driving away (the illusory identification with the material body and mind).

Translation

Until one revives one’s direct knowledge of the spirit soul and drives away the illusory identification with the material body and mind caused by the three modes of nature, one must cultivate those things in the mode of goodness. By increasing the mode of goodness, one automatically can understand and practice religious principles, and by such practice transcendental knowledge is awakened.
