चित्तान्तरेव संसारः कुम्भान्तः कुम्भखं यथा ।
चित्तनाशे न संसारः कुम्भनाशे न कुम्भखम् ॥ १४ ॥

cittāntareva saṃsāraḥ kumbhāntaḥ kumbhakhaṃ yathā |
cittanāśe na saṃsāraḥ kumbhanāśe na kumbhakham || 14 ||

The world is situated in the mind, as the air is confined in a pot;but the mind being restricted to itself, the world is lost to it; as the pot just broken, lets out the air to mix in endless vacuity.
