Verse 6.51.58

जीवप्रबोधान्मुक्तिर्हि प्रबोधात्परमात्मताम् ।
सोऽभ्येति क्षालितमलं ताम्रं कनकतामिव ॥ ५८ ॥

jīvaprabodhānmuktirhi prabodhātparamātmatām |
so'bhyeti kṣālitamalaṃ tāmraṃ kanakatāmiva || 58 ||

The living soul finds liberation by means of its intelligence, and it is by this means that it gets its spirituality also; just as copper being cleansed of its rust by some acid, assumes the brightness of pure gold.
