वस्तुतः कर्म नास्त्येव नाविद्यास्ति न सर्गधीः ।
स्वसंवेदनतः सर्वमसदेव प्रवर्तते ॥ ३६ ॥

vastutaḥ karma nāstyeva nāvidyāsti na sargadhīḥ |
svasaṃvedanataḥ sarvamasadeva pravartate || 36 ||

In fact neither the knowledge of the world nor ignorance of it, or its action or motion or any of its properties, is anything in reality; all these are the results of our thought, that represents the unreal as real one unto us.
