समूलं नश्यतः क्षिप्रं मूलच्छेदादिव द्रुमः ।
संविदं विद्धि संवेद्यं बीजं धीरतया विना ॥ ६६ ॥

samūlaṃ naśyataḥ kṣipraṃ mūlacchedādiva drumaḥ |
saṃvidaṃ viddhi saṃvedyaṃ bījaṃ dhīratayā vinā || 66 ||

Know then your intelligence as the same with your consciousness, and resembles the seed of the mind and its desires, both of which quickly die away with their root, like a rootless or uprooted plant and tree.
