Verse 7.190.45

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
यत्तद्वोधस्य बोधत्वं तदेवाहंत्वमुच्यते ।
द्वित्वमत्रानिलस्पन्ददृशोरिव निगद्यते ॥ ४५ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
yattadvodhasya bodhatvaṃ tadevāhaṃtvamucyate |
dvitvamatrānilaspandadṛśoriva nigadyate || 45 ||

Vasishtha replied:—It is the feeling of the perfections of the divine soul in ourselves, that we call our egoism; and not the ascription of our imperfect personalities unto him. And here the duality of the living and divine souls, bears resemblance to the unity of the ventilating breeze with the universal and unfluctuating air. [Sanskrit]
