मलस्त्वेषोऽपरिज्ञातः परिज्ञातः परं भवेत् ।
कुतः किल परे व्योमन्यनादिनिधने मलः ॥ ५ ॥

malastveṣo'parijñātaḥ parijñātaḥ paraṃ bhavet |
kutaḥ kila pare vyomanyanādinidhane malaḥ || 5 ||

So long as this is unknown, the world appears as a gross substance; but being known as contained in the Divine spirit, it becomes a spiritual substance also; because how is it possible for any gross matter, to attach itself to the transcendent vacuum, of which there is no beginning and end?
