"I shall now declare unto you in full this knowledge, both phenomenal( exceptionally good ) and numinous( having a strong religious or spiritual quality ). This being known, nothing further shall remain for you to know." "Out of many thousands among men, one may endeavor( try hard ) for perfection, and of those who have achieved perfection, hardly one knows Me in truth."
