सर्व एव समा जीवा वासनामन्तरेण च ।
शुष्कपर्णवदुड्डीना जडाः श्वसनवेणवः ॥ ५२ ॥

sarva eva samā jīvā vāsanāmantareṇa ca |
śuṣkaparṇavaduḍḍīnā jaḍāḥ śvasanaveṇavaḥ || 52 ||

All living beings are of the same nature, with their spiritual source, when they are devoid of their desires; it is the difference of desire that makes their different states, and causes them to fly about like the dry leaves of trees, and rustling in the air as hollow reeds.
