Verse 5.35.64
भित्तावेव प्रवर्तन्ते चित्रेहा न नभस्तले ।
अहंकारकलापित्ते चित्ते ज्ञानचमत्कृतिः ।
न राजतेंऽशुके म्लाने यथा कुङ्कुमरञ्जना ॥ ६४ ॥
bhittāveva pravartante citrehā na nabhastale |
ahaṃkārakalāpitte citte jñānacamatkṛtiḥ |
na rājateṃ'śuke mlāne yathā kuṅkumarañjanā || 64 ||
As a picture is drawn on a canvas and not in empty air, so our thoughts depend on our selfish principle and upon its want. And as it is the clear linen, that receives the yellow colour of saffron; so it is the pure soul that receives the image of God. It is egoism which vitiates the soul with the bilious passions of the heart, as a dirty cloth vitiates a goodly paint, with its inborn taint.
