आत्मेच्छयैव घनतां समुपागतान्तरात्मेच्छयैव तनुतामुपयाति काले ।
संसारजालरचनेयमनन्तमायाज्वालेह वातवलयादिव पावकस्य ॥ २५ ॥

ātmecchayaiva ghanatāṃ samupāgatāntarātmecchayaiva tanutāmupayāti kāle |
saṃsārajālaracaneyamanantamāyājvāleha vātavalayādiva pāvakasya || 25 ||

It is at the will of the spirit, that the thick darkness of the mind, is dispersed and cleared off in time; the world is a network of delusion, which is scattered like a smoke by the breeze of reason.
