Verse 3.81.63

दृगेव लोचने सा च वासनान्तं निजं वपुः ।
बहीरूपतया दृश्यं कृत्वा द्रष्टृतयोदिता ॥ ६३ ॥

dṛgeva locane sā ca vāsanāntaṃ nijaṃ vapuḥ |
bahīrūpatayā dṛśyaṃ kṛtvā draṣṭṛtayoditā || 63 ||

It is the internal sight of the intellect that looks into the inward soul, which is without all desires; while the external eyes are mere organs to look upon the false appearance of outward objects.
