अन्धं भुवनमन्धस्य प्रकाशं तु सचक्षुषः ।
जगदेकात्मकं ज्ञस्य मूर्खस्यातीव दुःखदम् ॥ ३३ ॥

andhaṃ bhuvanamandhasya prakāśaṃ tu sacakṣuṣaḥ |
jagadekātmakaṃ jñasya mūrkhasyātīva duḥkhadam || 33 ||

The blind behold the world all dark, while the eye-sighted find it fully bright and shining; so the wise are blessed with the knowledge of the one soul of the whole, while the ignorant are immerged in misery, by their want of such knowledge.
