त्यक्त्वा पूर्वापरे कोट्यौ मध्ये यत्संविदो वपुः ।
स स्वभावः परो ज्ञेयो जगत्पयसि संज्ञितः ॥ २२ ॥

tyaktvā pūrvāpare koṭyau madhye yatsaṃvido vapuḥ |
sa svabhāvaḥ paro jñeyo jagatpayasi saṃjñitaḥ || 22 ||

The chasm that there is between one thought and another, is truly characteristic of the voidness of the Divine Mind, (which reposes forever, in its everlasting and tranquil intellectual felicity sachchidananda); the visible world is but a wave in the ocean of Eternity, or as the mirage in a sandy desert.
