यथास्थितमिदं विश्वं ब्रह्मैवानामयं सदा ।
तत्त्वज्ञं प्रत्यतत्त्वज्ञजनतानिश्चयादृते ॥ १६ ॥

yathāsthitamidaṃ viśvaṃ brahmaivānāmayaṃ sadā |
tattvajñaṃ pratyatattvajñajanatāniścayādṛte || 16 ||

The world as it is, appears as the very Brahma to the truly learned, while to the ignorant mass of men, it appears as many and changing, for want of the precise knowledge of it.
