आत्मनो व्यतिरेकेण न किंचिदपि विद्यते ।
सर्वं ब्रह्मेति मे तत्त्वमेतत्तद्भावयाम्यहम् ॥ २४ ॥

ātmano vyatirekeṇa na kiṃcidapi vidyate |
sarvaṃ brahmeti me tattvametattadbhāvayāmyaham || 24 ||

That there is nothing in existence, except the spirit of God is my firm belief, and this makes me believe the whole universe, as a manifestation of the great Brahma himself.
