मनुष्याणां सहस्रेषु कश्चिद्यतति सिद्धये | यततामपि सिद्धानां कश्चिन्मां वेत्ति तत्त्वतः
manuṣyāṇāṃ sahasreṣu kaścidyatati siddhaye . yatatāmapi siddhānāṃ kaścinmāṃ vetti tattvataḥ
千万人中，唯有少数人努力追求圆满。即使在那些勤勉的圆满者中，也只有极少数人能真正认识我。
Among thousands of men a rare one endeavours for perfection. Even of the perfected ones who are diligent, one perchance knows Me in truth.
这段经文强调了获得自我知识或本质上认识梵的极度困难。它指出，追求自我了悟并真正认识真理的人寥寥无几，解脱者（Jivanmuktas）和真正的修行者（Sadhakas）都非常罕见。尽管自我知识能赋予人不朽、永恒的极乐和持久的平静等无量果报，但要获得它却异常艰难。然而，一个具备坚定决心和钢铁意志，并拥有四种解脱之道（四种解脱手段）的真诚修行者，便能轻易获得自我知识。
Mark how difficult it is to attain to the knowledge of the Self or to how Brahman in essence. Siddhanam literally means those who have attained to perfection (the perfected ones) but here it means only those who strive to attain perfection.Those who purchase diamonds? rubies or pearls are few. Those who study the postgraduate course are few. Even so those who attempt for Selfrealisation and who actually know the Truth in essence are few only. The liberated ones (Jivanmuktas) are rare. Real Sadhakas are also rare. The,knowledge of the Self bestows incalculable fruits on man? viz.? immortality? eternal bliss? perennial joy and everlasting peace. It is very difficult to attain to this knowledge of the Self. But a good and earnest spiritual aspirant (Sadhaka) who is endowed with a strong determination and iron resolve? and who is eipped with the four means to salvation can easily obtain the knowledge of the Self.
