jana-stho 'pi na muhyati
yah-one who; ete-on this path (as recommended above); pitr-devanam-known as pitr-yana and deva-yana; ayane-on this path; veda-nirmite-recommended in the Vedas; sastrena-by regular study of the scriptures; caksusa-by enlightened eyes; veda-is fully aware; jana-sthah-a person situated in a material body; api-even though; na-never; muhyati-is bewildered.
TRANSLATION
Even though situated in a material body, one who is fully aware of the paths known as pitr-yana and deva-yana, and who thus opens his eyes in terms of Vedic knowledge, is never bewildered in this material world.
PURPORT
Acaryavan puruso veda: one who is guided by the bona fide spiritual master knows everything as stated in the Vedas, which set forth the standard of infallible knowledge. As recommended in Bhagavad-gita, acaryopasanam: one must approach the acarya for real knowledge. Tad-vijnanartham sa gurum evabhigacchet: one must approach the acarya, for then one will receive perfect knowledge. When guided by the spiritual master, one attains the ultimate goal of life.
