ध्यानं न शक्यते कर्तुं न चैतदुपयुज्यते ।
अबोधेन विबुद्धस्तु स्वयमत्रैव तिष्ठति ॥ ३५ ॥

dhyānaṃ na śakyate kartuṃ na caitadupayujyate |
abodhena vibuddhastu svayamatraiva tiṣṭhati || 35 ||

We cannot form any idea of it in the mind, as to how the material subsists in the immaterial spirit; nor is it proper to entertain the notion, of what is unknowable by our ignorance of the nature of the selfexistent One.
