सर्वभूतेषु चात्मानं सर्वभूतानि चात्मनि ।
मुनेर्जानत आश्चर्यं ममत्वमनुवर्तते ॥ ५ ॥

sarvabhūteṣu cātmānaṃ sarvabhūtāni cātmani |
munerjānata āścaryaṃ mamatvamanuvartate || 5 ||

When the sage has realized that he himself is in all beings, and all beings are in him, it is astonishing that the sense of individuality should be able to continue.
