Verse 72

72. This dual, associated with or, involving the perceptible and perceiver is the mind vibration itself; the mind is unrelated to the object; therefore it is glorified as eternal and without attachment.

In this reality of Advaita, Non-Duality, there exists a singularity alone. As stated in this verse the duality of the perceiver and the perceived does not exist. The appearance or experience of duality is, as explained here, simply the mind (consciousness) in action (that is knowledge in action) providing all information relevant to duality so as to experience itself. This mind has in reality no contact with or relation to any external object or phenomena.
