भक्त्या त्वनन्यया शक्य अहमेवंविधोऽर्जुन
Ananya-bhakti is the devotion in which the Self is realized as the non-dual reality. 'Jñātum' is the intellectual conviction of the scriptures. 'Draṣṭum' is the direct perception (Aparoksha Anubhuti) in meditation. 'Praveṣṭum' is the final liberation (Moksha) where the illusion of individuality is dissolved and one remains as Brahman.
