Bhagavad Gita 4.38
Clarity comes in its own time — and it comes from within.
Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 4, Verse 38
न हि ज्ञानेन सदृशं पवित्रमिह विद्यते।
तत्स्वयं योगसंसिद्धः कालेनात्मनि विन्दति॥
na hi jñānena sadṛśaṁ pavitram iha vidyate
tat svayaṁ yoga-saṁsiddhaḥ kālenātmani vindati
Translation
Nothing in this world purifies like knowledge. One who is mature in yoga finds it within oneself, in time.
हिन्दी भावार्थ
इस संसार में ज्ञान के समान पवित्र करने वाला कुछ भी नहीं है। योग में सिद्ध व्यक्ति समय आने पर उसे स्वयं अपने भीतर पा लेता है।
In simple words Interpretation

Context
