ब्रह्मणि त्वात्मनात्मैव स्थितः कचति बिम्बति ।
द्वैतीभवत्यदेहोऽपि चिन्मयत्वात्स्वभावतः ॥ ३४ ॥

brahmaṇi tvātmanātmaiva sthitaḥ kacati bimbati |
dvaitībhavatyadeho'pi cinmayatvātsvabhāvataḥ || 34 ||

The soul which is situated in the universal soul of Brahma, shines as the living soul (jiva) of living beings; but it amounts to a duality, to impute even an incorporeal idea of Avidya or Ignorance to it; because the nature of God is pure Intelligence, and cannot admit an ignorant spirit in it.
