छायापुरुषवत्स्पन्दि शान्तं निर्मननं जगत् ।
जगच्छब्दार्थरहितं यः पश्यति स पश्यति ॥ २१ ॥

chāyāpuruṣavatspandi śāntaṃ nirmananaṃ jagat |
jagacchabdārtharahitaṃ yaḥ paśyati sa paśyati || 21 ||

The insensible world seems to move about as a shadow or phantom in the air, whence it is called jagat or the moving world; but he alone sees it in its true light, who views it as motionless and without its sense of mobility, and as perfectly sedate and stationary in the spirit of God.
