विज्ञानात्मा शासिता विश्वबीजं ब्रह्मैवालं स्वं चिदाकाशमात्रम् ।
यस्माज्जातं यत्तदेवेति विद्याद्वेद्यं स्वान्तर्बोधसंबोधमात्रम् ॥ २४ ॥

vijñānātmā śāsitā viśvabījaṃ brahmaivālaṃ svaṃ cidākāśamātram |
yasmājjātaṃ yattadeveti vidyādvedyaṃ svāntarbodhasaṃbodhamātram || 24 ||

The enlightened soul, freed from its knowledge of the mundane seed, and knowing Brahma alone as the plenum filling the vacuum of intellect;knows the knowable (God) in his inward understanding, as the same with what has proceeded from him.
