अहमर्थे प्रविसृते संसारो ह्यनुभूयते ।
नान्तर्भूय परिक्षीणे लोचनस्येव तारके ॥ ४५ ॥

ahamarthe pravisṛte saṃsāro hyanubhūyate |
nāntarbhūya parikṣīṇe locanasyeva tārake || 45 ||

Egoism (selfishness) being extended too far, perceives the furthest worlds lying stretched before its sight; but the unegotistic or unselfish soul, like a sleeping man doth not perceive the nearest object, as our eyes do not see the pupils lying within them.
