श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
य एष देवः कथितो नैष दूरेऽवतिष्ठते ।
शरीरे संस्थितो नित्यं चिन्मात्रमिति विश्रुतः ॥ २ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
ya eṣa devaḥ kathito naiṣa dūre'vatiṣṭhate |
śarīre saṃsthito nityaṃ cinmātramiti viśrutaḥ || 2 ||

Vasishtha replied:—This God of whom I spoke, is not at a distance from us. He is situated in these our bodies, and is known to be of the form of mere Intellect (chinmatra) to us. So says Fichte: The Infinite Reason (chit) alone exists in himself—the finite in him. Lewis vol. II. p. 563.
