Verse 3.97.27

चित्तत्वमस्य मलिनस्य चिदात्मकस्य तत्त्वस्य दृश्यत इदं ननु बोधहीनैः ।
शुक्तौ यथा रजतता नतु बोधवद्भिर्मौर्ख्येण बन्ध इह बोधबलेन मोक्षः ॥ २७ ॥

cittatvamasya malinasya cidātmakasya tattvasya dṛśyata idaṃ nanu bodhahīnaiḥ |
śuktau yathā rajatatā natu bodhavadbhirmaurkhyeṇa bandha iha bodhabalena mokṣaḥ || 27 ||

The ignorant that are guided by the dictates of their perverted minds, know nothing concerning the nature of the Intellect, which is identic with the Supreme. So the witless that unwittingly take the white shells for bright silver, are seen to labour under their delusion, until they are freed from it, by the clear light of their understanding.{GL_NOTE:73140:}
