नह्येष दूरे नाभ्याशे नालभ्यो विषमे न च ।
स्वानन्दाभासरूपोऽसौ स्वदेहादेव लभ्यते ॥ ३ ॥

nahyeṣa dūre nābhyāśe nālabhyo viṣame na ca |
svānandābhāsarūpo'sau svadehādeva labhyate || 3 ||

He (God) is not far from nor too near us, nor is he obtainable by what he is not (as the adoration of images and ceremonial acts). He is the image of light and felicity, and is perceivable in ourselves.
