As a person by taking up an axe cannot, by cutting open a piece of wood, see either smoke or fire in it, so one cannot, by cutting open the arms, feet and stomach of a person, cannot see the principle of knowledge, which, does not partake of the nature of stomach, the arms, and feet.
यथा च कश्चित् परशुं गृहीत्वा धूमं च पश्येज्ज्वलनं च काष्ठे। तद्वच्छरीरोदरपाणिपादं छित्त्वा न पश्यन्ति ततो यदन्यत्॥
