चिच्छक्तिः सर्वशक्तित्वान्नाहं चिदिति भावनात् ।
अत्र सैवैति वैवश्यं सूर्यो दीप्तैरिवाम्बुदैः ॥ २० ॥

cicchaktiḥ sarvaśaktitvānnāhaṃ ciditi bhāvanāt |
atra saivaiti vaivaśyaṃ sūryo dīptairivāmbudaiḥ || 20 ||

The dubitation that, "the divine soul is omnipotent, and the living soul is impotent and limited in its powers; and therefore the human soul is not the same with the Divine"; is the cause of our woe, and serves to darken the understanding; as the clouds raised by the sunlight, serve to obscure the solar disk.
