Verse 6.2.54

अचिन्मयत्वान्नासि त्वं स्वात्मा किमिव रोदिषि ।
अचिन्मयत्वे जगतामभावे कल्पनं कुतः ॥ ५४ ॥

acinmayatvānnāsi tvaṃ svātmā kimiva rodiṣi |
acinmayatve jagatāmabhāve kalpanaṃ kutaḥ || 54 ||

If you disbelieve in the intellectual, you can have no belief in your spirituality also; then why fear to die for fear of future retribution, when you leave your body behind to turn to dust. Tell me Rama! how can you imagine the existence of the world in absence of the intellectual principle.
