तेन मूढ न कर्तृत्वं न भोक्तृत्वं तवापि हि ।
तदेवासि परं ब्रह्म त्यज मौर्ख्यं भवात्मवान् ॥ ५७ ॥

tena mūḍha na kartṛtvaṃ na bhoktṛtvaṃ tavāpi hi |
tadevāsi paraṃ brahma tyaja maurkhyaṃ bhavātmavān || 57 ||

Hence, O foolish mind! thou art no active nor passive agent of action, but art the sedate self-consciousness of Brahma (knowing only "I am what I am" "Sohamasmi"). Now therefore cast off thy ignorance, and know thyself as a condition of the very soul.
