Verse 7.144.53

सर्ववस्तुषु कचन्ति सर्वदा युक्तयः स्फटिकशुक्तयो यथा ।
भावनानुभव एव स स्वयं शक्तिमाञ्जयति जीवितात्मकः ॥ ५३ ॥

sarvavastuṣu kacanti sarvadā yuktayaḥ sphaṭikaśuktayo yathā |
bhāvanānubhava eva sa svayaṃ śaktimāñjayati jīvitātmakaḥ || 53 ||

In this manner we see the reflections of almighty power in all things that come under own reflection (or observation), just as we see the crystals and shell-fishes shining with their intrinsical brightness. May this Omnipotent power that is ever-living soul of souls, and known to us in our imperfect notion of him, be glorified for ever and ever.
