अचेतनं चेतनान्तश्चेतनादेव विद्यते ।
स्वेऽसादृश्येऽपि सदृशं पयोराशौ यथानलः ॥ २ ॥

acetanaṃ cetanāntaścetanādeva vidyate |
sve'sādṛśye'pi sadṛśaṃ payorāśau yathānalaḥ || 2 ||

The unintelligent world subsists in the intelligent intellect, by its power of intellection; and remains alike with the unlike (i.e. matter with the mind), as the submarine fire resides in the water, and the latent heat with cold.
