Verse 9
Attend not
to the one essence,
yet hope to ascend
to the Supreme?
Knowledge is in vain
without the company
of the Knowing ones.
Attend to their ways
and lo,
worldly matters cease
their chatter.
~~~~~~
One may gather knowledge, but it is useless if the mind is not fixed on the Supreme essence. That unity is grasped in the company of the Wise ones and then life is all music. Pay attention to their thoughts, speech and actions, for they embody the essence. Worldly worries, pain and negativities will stop bothering you.
