अनेकानि च शास्त्राणि स्वल्पायुर्विघ्नकोतयः ।
तस्मात्सारं विजानीयात् क्षीरं हंस इवांभसि ॥

There is so many scriptures to study. Life time is so little. On top of that, there are crores of obstacles. Hence the jist of these scriptures have to be studied just like a swan can drink milk and leave out the water.
