Verse 5.4.17

कश्चित्सर्वमसर्वं च सदसच्च सदोदितम् ।
रूपं स्मरसि वेत्स्येव विविक्तं परमात्मनः ॥ १७ ॥

kaścitsarvamasarvaṃ ca sadasacca sadoditam |
rūpaṃ smarasi vetsyeva viviktaṃ paramātmanaḥ || 17 ||

Do you remember what I said regarding the One in all, and not as the all, and the One Reality ever appearing as unreality; and do you retain in your mind the nature and form of the Supreme Spirit, that I have expounded to you?
