Verse 6.6.11

यावप्यसक्तावन्योन्यं मिथः संनमितौ कथम् ।
कथं स्थूलोऽणुरूपः स्यादणुः स्थूलः कथं भवेत् ॥ ११ ॥

yāvapyasaktāvanyonyaṃ mithaḥ saṃnamitau katham |
kathaṃ sthūlo'ṇurūpaḥ syādaṇuḥ sthūlaḥ kathaṃ bhavet || 11 ||

It is impossible, Rama, for the reciprocation of their feelings, that never agree in their natures; the gross body has no connection with the subtile soul, nor has the rarefied soul any relation with the solid body.
