Verse 7.25.23

यः कुण्डबदरन्यायो या घटाकाशयोः स्थितिः ।
स संबन्धोऽपि नैवान्यमैक्यं ह्यन्योन्यवेदनम् ॥ २३ ॥

yaḥ kuṇḍabadaranyāyo yā ghaṭākāśayoḥ sthitiḥ |
sa saṃbandho'pi naivānyamaikyaṃ hyanyonyavedanam || 23 ||

Why do you maintain your egoism only, to be confined in the cell of your body, like a plum drowned in a cup of water, or like the air confined in a pot? your relation to God is to be no other but like himself and to be one with him, is to have the reciprocal knowledge of yourself in the likeness of God.
