नासन्निवेशं हेमास्ति नासर्गं ब्रह्म विद्यते ।
किंतु सर्गादिशब्दार्थमुक्तं युक्तमतेः शिवम् ॥ २१ ॥

nāsanniveśaṃ hemāsti nāsargaṃ brahma vidyate |
kiṃtu sargādiśabdārthamuktaṃ yuktamateḥ śivam || 21 ||

Know that Brahma is not without the creation, as no gold is without its form and reflection; but keep yourself clear from thoughts of creation and reflection, and confine your mind to the meditation of Brahma, which is replete with perfect bliss.
