चिन्मयाकाशकचने क्वास्मिन्किल निराकृतेः ।
दृश्यनामन्यविद्याख्ये बन्धो मोक्षोऽथवा कुतः ॥ ३६ ॥

cinmayākāśakacane kvāsminkila nirākṛteḥ |
dṛśyanāmanyavidyākhye bandho mokṣo'thavā kutaḥ || 36 ||

There can be no bondage nor liberation, of aught whatever in this visible world of our ignorance or avidya; because all things herein are mere reflections of the formless void of the Divine Intellect.
