Chapter 2: Transcendental Knowledgeसांख्ययोग
2:29
“Some see the soul as amazing, some describe it as amazing, some hear of it as amazing, while others, even after hearing about it, cannot understand it at all.”
Sanskrit
आश्चर्यवत्पश्यति कश्चिदेनमाश्चर्यवद्वदति तथैव चान्यः | आश्चर्यवच्चैनमन्यः शृणोति श्रुत्वाप्येनं वेद न चैव कश्चित् ||

Commentary
The soul's nature is so subtle and extraordinary that few truly comprehend it. Even after hearing, seeing, or describing it, most remain unable to grasp its true nature. Such is the mystery of consciousness.
