द्रष्टाऽदृष्टपदं गच्छन्नात्मानं संप्रपश्यति ।
नेत्रदृश्याभिपातीव सदेवासदिव स्थितम् ॥ ६१ ॥

draṣṭā'dṛṣṭapadaṃ gacchannātmānaṃ saṃprapaśyati |
netradṛśyābhipātīva sadevāsadiva sthitam || 61 ||

The viewer looking into the invisible being within himself, comes to see the soul; but he who looks on the outside with his open eyes, comes to view the unreal as real.
