Meaning
Another commentary: when passion and hatred have grown fine through knowing that the seen is impossible, the love of the Self that rises from the knowledge born of reflecting on scripture, and from the strength of the tendency towards it, is called the practice of Brahman. The emptying of passion is not left empty; a love takes its place.
