परमात्मायते जीवो बुध्यमानस्त्वचेतनम् ।
चेतनं बुध्यमानस्तु जीव एवावतिष्ठते ॥ ११ ॥

paramātmāyate jīvo budhyamānastvacetanam |
cetanaṃ budhyamānastu jīva evāvatiṣṭhate || 11 ||

The living (or human) soul appears as the Supreme spirit, when it is viewed upon by the sight of our blended intellect; but no sooner does the light of Divine intellect dawn in our minds, than the living or animal soul dwindles into nothing.
