दृश्यं पश्यन्त्यमात्मानं न द्रष्टा संप्रपश्यति ।
द्रष्टुर्हि दृश्यतापत्तौ सत्ताऽसत्तेव तिष्ठति ॥ ७२ ॥

dṛśyaṃ paśyantyamātmānaṃ na draṣṭā saṃprapaśyati |
draṣṭurhi dṛśyatāpattau sattā'satteva tiṣṭhati || 72 ||

The viewer who feasts his eyes with a view of the outer visible world, cannot have the sight of the inner soul with the internal eyes of his intellect; but when the viewer shuts out the outer view, all its realities appear as unreal.
