अहंत्वभावाच्चाहंत्वमस्ति संसारबीजकम् ।
नाहंत्वभावान्नाहंत्वमस्तीति ज्ञानमुत्तमम् ॥ ४ ॥

ahaṃtvabhāvāccāhaṃtvamasti saṃsārabījakam |
nāhaṃtvabhāvānnāhaṃtvamastīti jñānamuttamam || 4 ||

As it is the thought of I and thou that begets the idea of egoism and tuism, which becomes the seed of the world; so it is the thought of non-ego et tu, that removes the idea of egoism and tuism, and this is the true and best knowledge of God.
