खातेनेव सरिन्नूनं साऽहंकारेण वाह्यते ।
अहंकारोऽपि निःसारो जड एव शवात्मकः ॥ २२ ॥

khāteneva sarinnūnaṃ sā'haṃkāreṇa vāhyate |
ahaṃkāro'pi niḥsāro jaḍa eva śavātmakaḥ || 22 ||

The egoism which leads the body forward in its action, is like the channel that carries the current of a stream in its onward course. This egoism also has no essence of its own and is therefore as inert and inactive as a dead body.
