तत्सर्वमात्मा भगवान्दृश्यदर्शनवर्जितः ॥ १६ ॥

yadidaṃ sparśanaṃ spandaṃ kiṃcidyatsaṃvidādyapi |
tatsarvamātmā bhagavāndṛśyadarśanavarjitaḥ || 16 ||

All the sensations and vibrations that we have in our bodies, and all the thoughts we are conscious of in our minds, are all affections of the sovereign soul, which is beyond our vision and the visibles.
