This Atman cannot be attained by the study of the Vedas, or by intelligence, or by much hearing of sacred books. It is attained by him alone whom It chooses. To such a one Atman reveals Its own form.

English Commentary
Com.тАФThis text says that though this ├вtman is hard to know, still he can certainly be known well by proper means. This ├вtman is not attainable by the study of many V├кd├вs, or by intelligence, i.e., a retentive memory of the import of books, or by any amount of mere learning. By what then can he be attained is explained. That ├вtman (self) whom the neophyte seeks, by the same self, i.e., by the seeker, can the ├вtman be known. The meaning is that, of one who seeks only the ├вtman, being free from desire, the ├вtman is attained by the ├вtman alone. How it is attained is explained. To the man who seeks the ├вtman, the ├вtman reveals its real form, i.e., its own true nature.
