अहमर्थो जगद्बीजं यदि दग्धमभावनात् ।
तदहन्त्वं जगद्बन्ध इत्यादेः कलनैव का ॥ ३६ ॥

ahamartho jagadbījaṃ yadi dagdhamabhāvanāt |
tadahantvaṃ jagadbandha ityādeḥ kalanaiva kā || 36 ||

The meaning of the word ego, which contains the seed of world in it, is rendered abortive by our ceasing to think of it. Then what is the good of using the words I and thou, that serve only to bind our souls to this world.
