Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 2/Verse 52

यदा ते मोहकलिलं बुद्धिर्व्यतितरिष्यति ।
तदा गन्तासि निर्वेदं श्रोतव्यस्य श्रुतस्य च ॥२- ५२॥


yadā te mohakalilaṃ buddhirvyatitariṣyati ।

tadā gantāsi nirvedaṃ śrotavyasya śrutasya ca ॥2- 52॥

When your wisdom goes beyond the thicket of delusion, then you will go to disinterest of what has been heard and what will be heard.
