By such transcendental knowledge of the all-pervading Personality of Godhead, one is able to see the Absolute Truth everywhere. Freed thus from all doubts, one gives up fruitive activities.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
By the practice of seeing the Lord everywhere, one finally realizes everything is Brahman. Seeing Brahman everywhere, freed from all doubts, one gives up all action. By that worship (vidyā) in which one sees the Lord everywhere (ātma-manīṣayā), everything becomes Brahman for him. Then, seeing Brahman everywhere (paripaśyan), he gives up all action (uparamet).
Through this transcendental knowledge of the all-pervading Lord, one sees the Absolute everywhere, becomes free of doubts, and gives up fruitive activities. Vision and renunciation come together.
