Philosophical: Onslaughts against sacrifices, rituals and

Not that which speech can illuminate, but that by which speech
can be illuminated: know that to be Brahman the eternal, and not
what people here adore;
Not that which the mind can think, but that whereby the mind can
think: know that to be Brahman the eternal, and not what people
here adore.
