Verse 4.18.26

स्वमेव जायतेऽस्वाभं न च तज्जायतेऽन्यदृक् ।
अतो न जातं नाजातं विद्धि ब्रह्म नभो जगत् ॥ २६ ॥

svameva jāyate'svābhaṃ na ca tajjāyate'nyadṛk |
ato na jātaṃ nājātaṃ viddhi brahma nabho jagat || 26 ||

The viewer viewing the view, is unable to see himself (his inward soul) because his consciousness being engrossed by external objects, is disabled from looking into itself.
