आत्मैवेदं जगत्सर्वमित्यन्तः संविदोदये ।
क्व चेता क्वच वा चित्तं किं चेत्यं चेतनं च किम् ॥ ५८ ॥

ātmaivedaṃ jagatsarvamityantaḥ saṃvidodaye |
kva cetā kvaca vā cittaṃ kiṃ cetyaṃ cetanaṃ ca kim || 58 ||

When you become conscious of the Supreme soul in you, and as permeated throughout all nature, you will then find the thinker and his thinking, the thinkables and their thoughts, vanish into nothing.
