Verse 1.67

English translation of verse 1.67:

If a person meditates on the Saṃhitā with a desire to attain the fruits stated above, he will attain them. But if he does the same thing without any desire for these fruits, he will attain purification of the mind (citta-śuddhi) which is conducive to the attainment of Brahman-knowledge.
