Verse 6.48.17

केवलं बोधवैरूप्यादीषत्पृथगिव स्थितम् ।
विष्वगात्ममयं विश्वं ज्ञातं बुद्ध्या सुसिद्धया ॥ १७ ॥

kevalaṃ bodhavairūpyādīṣatpṛthagiva sthitam |
viṣvagātmamayaṃ viśvaṃ jñātaṃ buddhyā susiddhayā || 17 ||

It is the imperfection of our understanding, that creates the difference between the spirit and the body; but it shows the perfection of our judgement, when we believe the universal soul, to be diffused throughout the universe.
