सर्व एव जडा जीर्णा दर्पणा इव जन्तवः ।
समीपगत एवान्तः कुर्वतस्तु विचारणम् ॥ ५६ ॥

sarva eva jaḍā jīrṇā darpaṇā iva jantavaḥ |
samīpagata evāntaḥ kurvatastu vicāraṇam || 56 ||

The minds of ignorant people are as glassy mirrors, receiving the dim and dull images of things set before their senses; but those of reasoning men are as clear microscopes, that spy the vivid light of the Divine Mind that shines through all.
