Śaṅkarācārya's commentary

"This": the Brahma-jñāna, the knowledge of Brahman, which has been declared and is going to be declared in the preceding and following discourses. "Now": this word points to the superiority of knowledge over Dhyāna; this right knowledge alone forms the direct means of attaining mokṣa. On attaining this knowledge you will be liberated from the bondage of saṃsāra.
