Verse 6.11.32

इत्यज्ञानात्मनो मोहो नच ज्ञानात्मनः क्वचित् ।
अज्ञस्य दुःखौघमयं ज्ञस्यानन्दमयं जगत् ॥ ३२ ॥

ityajñānātmano moho naca jñānātmanaḥ kvacit |
ajñasya duḥkhaughamayaṃ jñasyānandamayaṃ jagat || 32 ||

Irrational souls, that are ignorant of this truth, are verily subject to delusion; but the rational souls are not so, but enjoy their full bliss on earth, while the other is ever doomed to misery.
