The verse gives a test, and it is the only one in the whole chapter a man can carry out on himself.
Not “how much dost thou know”, nor “how long dost thou sit in concentration”. Simply: does the heart quiver at the sight of the desired.
Note the verb spandate — “quivers, trembles”. That very spanda of which 4.99 said that it is the mind's own nature.
If it does not tremble — the mind has grown still.
And the conclusion: vijñāta-vijñeyaḥ — “having known the knowable”, samuttīrṇaḥ — “having crossed over”.
Everything at once, by a single sign.
This is honest and convenient. One can test oneself tomorrow, and no learning will help one lie here.
