Verse 3.100.35

आत्मैवानात्मवदिह जीवो जगति राजते ।
द्वीन्दुत्वमिव दुर्दृष्टेः सच्चासच्च समुत्थितम् ॥ ३५ ॥

ātmaivānātmavadiha jīvo jagati rājate |
dvīndutvamiva durdṛṣṭeḥ saccāsacca samutthitam || 35 ||

The living soul although it is a particle of the Supreme soul, shows itself in this world as no soul at all (but a form of mere physical vitality). So the purblind see two moons in the sky, and are unable to distinguish the true moon from the false one.
