Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2, Verse 52

यदा ते मोहकलिलं बुद्धिर्व्यतितरिष्यति । तदा गन्तासि निर्वेदं श्रोतव्यस्य श्रुतस्य च ॥

yadā te moha-kalilaṁ buddhir vyatitariṣyati | tadā gantāsi nirvedaṁ śrotavyasya śrutasya ca ||

When your intellect crosses the dense forest of delusion, you will become indifferent to what has been heard and what is yet to be heard.

When your 'buddhiḥ vyatitariṣyati moha-kalilam'—wisdom crosses the dense forest of delusion—you attain 'nirvedam'—dispassion to what you've heard and will hear. The confused mind is enslaved to opinions and authorities, always seeking the 'right' view. The wise mind has its own clarity—it listens but isn't enslaved. 'Nirvedam' isn't rejection; it's freedom. You're not dismissive of teachings, but you're also not dependent on them. Your wisdom becomes direct, not borrowed—you've crossed from confusion to your own clear seeing.
