Verse 6.60.6

श्रीराम उवाच ।
मनो बुद्धिरहंकारश्चित्तं यत्र क्षयं गतम् ।
सत्तासामान्यमाभातं मनस्वी स किमुच्यते ॥ ६ ॥

śrīrāma uvāca |
mano buddhirahaṃkāraścittaṃ yatra kṣayaṃ gatam |
sattāsāmānyamābhātaṃ manasvī sa kimucyate || 6 ||

He does what are his duties in this world, and never grieves in discharging them. Rama said:—How is it possible, Sir, to meditate on the universal soul in all things, when the sage has buried his mind, understanding and his egoism and himself in the unity of God? and how can the soul be viewed in the plurality, when all things have been absorbed in the unity?
