चित्तबालो जगद्यक्षं मिथ्या पश्यत्यबोधतः ।
बोधितोऽसौ परं रूपं स्वं पश्यति निरामयम् ॥ ४३ ॥

cittabālo jagadyakṣaṃ mithyā paśyatyabodhataḥ |
bodhito'sau paraṃ rūpaṃ svaṃ paśyati nirāmayam || 43 ||

The mind is otherwise like an infant, which views the apparition of the world in its insensible sleep of ignorance; but being awakened by the intellect chit, it sees the transcendent form of the self or soul without the mist of delusion, which is caused by the sensitive part of the mind, and removed by the reasoning faculties of the intellect—Chidbhaga.
