Verse 6.59.20

नेहास्त्यैक्यं न च द्वित्वं ममादेशोऽपि तन्मयः ।
वाच्यवाचकशिष्येहागुरुवाक्यैश्चमत्कृतैः ॥ २० ॥

nehāstyaikyaṃ na ca dvitvaṃ mamādeśo'pi tanmayaḥ |
vācyavācakaśiṣyehāguruvākyaiścamatkṛtaiḥ || 20 ||

There is no unity nor duality in the divine intellect, (where the images are neither inseparably attached to nor detached from it); the application of the words I and thou to one or the other is all relate to the same, and they have come to use from the instruction of our elders.
