विस्तारः कर्मणां देहः सोऽहंतात्मा ससंसृतिः ।
अचेतनानहन्त्वेन शाम्यत्यस्पन्दवातवत् ॥ १५ ॥

vistāraḥ karmaṇāṃ dehaḥ so'haṃtātmā sasaṃsṛtiḥ |
acetanānahantvena śāmyatyaspandavātavat || 15 ||

The body is the field and scope of our actions, and our egoism spreads itself over the world; but our insensibility and want of egoism, tend to put away the world from us as want of force puts down the breeze.
