परमैषैव सा विद्या मायैषा संसृतिर्ह्यसौ ।
असतो निष्प्रतिष्ठस्य यदहंत्वस्य भावनम् ॥ १६ ॥

asato niṣpratiṣṭhasya yadahaṃtvasya bhāvanam || 16 ||

Belief in the only essence of the soul, constitutes true knowledge, and not in its likeness of the ego and mind, as it is generally believed in this world. Therefore abandon the thought of your false and unfounded egoism or individual existence.
