Verse 7.49.50

जीवकाजीर्णशफरी व्योमवारिविहारिणी ।
मोहजालेन वलिता न स्मरत्यात्मनि स्थितिम् ॥ ५० ॥

jīvakājīrṇaśapharī vyomavārivihāriṇī |
mohajālena valitā na smaratyātmani sthitim || 50 ||

All living beings whirling in the great whirlpool of the Intellect (chit Vivarte), are as weak little fishes encircled by the net of ignorance; they are swimming and skimming in the water of the vast vacuum, and are quite forgetful of their spiritual origin.
