अनालोकनसंसिद्ध आलोकेनैव नश्यति ।
असदात्मा सदाभासो बालवेतालवत्क्षणात् ॥ ९ ॥

anālokanasaṃsiddha ālokenaiva naśyati |
asadātmā sadābhāso bālavetālavatkṣaṇāt || 9 ||

He is seen without being seen, and is lost upon being seen (that is, the Lord is seen in the spirit and not by the visual sight). On looking to it an unreal or evil spirit appears to sight instead of the true and holy spirit, like ghosts and goblins appearing before children.
