💡 Commentary Note

The nature of the self is so profound and mysterious that it strikes people with wonder. True Gyan requires more than hearing or reading; it requires direct inner experience.

Learnings from Shloka 29:

• The wonder of consciousness:: The nature of our inner awareness is one of the greatest mysteries of life.
• Beyond intellectual learning:: True self-realization goes beyond mere words and must be experienced personally.
