श्रीराम उवाच ।
अवयवावयविनोर्यथा भिन्नस्तथा स हि ।
तत्रानवयवे ब्रह्मण्येकता जगदादिना ॥ ८६ ॥

śrīrāma uvāca |
avayavāvayavinoryathā bhinnastathā sa hi |
tatrānavayave brahmaṇyekatā jagadādinā || 86 ||

Rama rejoined:—But why am I not to think the identity of the world with Brahma himself, as there is the identity of the divine mind with him, and that of the mind with the creation. And likewise as the relation of sameness subsists between a component part and its ensemble or the integral whole, as there is between the branch of a tree and the tree itself? (because these are but parts of one undivided whole). But it would be absurd to identify the undivided and formless Brahma, with the divided and formal world.
