किमनेन शरीरेण काष्ठलोष्टसमेन मे ।
अशेषजगदेकात्मा चिदहं चेतनात्मकः ॥ ११ ॥

kimanena śarīreṇa kāṣṭhaloṣṭasamena me |
aśeṣajagadekātmā cidahaṃ cetanātmakaḥ || 11 ||

What avails this body of mine, which is inert and insensible as a block of wood or stone; it is the intellect that makes my self, and it is the intelligent spirit which is the universal Soul.
