Verse 5.26.12

भव्योऽसि चेत्तदेतस्मात्सर्वमाप्नोषि निश्चयात् ।
नो चेत्तद्वह्वपि प्रोक्तं त्वयि भस्मनि हूयते ॥ १२ ॥

bhavyo'si cettadetasmātsarvamāpnoṣi niścayāt |
no cettadvahvapi proktaṃ tvayi bhasmani hūyate || 12 ||

If you are wise, know you derive every thing from this Chit—the universal Intellect; or else all gifts of fortune are as useless to you as the offering of butter on ashes.
