मिथ्याभावनया ब्रह्मन्स्वविकल्पकलङ्किताः ।
न ब्रह्म वयमित्यन्तर्निंश्चयेन ह्यधोगताः ॥ २ ॥

mithyābhāvanayā brahmansvavikalpakalaṅkitāḥ |
na brahma vayamityantarniṃścayena hyadhogatāḥ || 2 ||

It is owing to our erroneous conceptions that we make these distinctions in ourselves and the Supreme Soul. The thought of our being separate and apart from the Supreme spirit, is the cause of our degradation from our pristine holiness and the image of God, in which man was made at first and was infused with his holy spirit.
