The fish residing in the water is different from the element in which it resides. But as the fish and the water forming its residence are always united, likewise the quality of goodness and the individual soul exist in a state of union. The gnat begotten of a rotten fig is really not the fig but different from it. As the gnat and the fig are seen to be united with each other, so are the qualities of goodness and the individual Soul.
यथा मत्स्योऽद्भिरन्यः स्यात् सम्प्रयुक्तोतथैव तौ। मशकोदुम्बरौ वापि सम्प्रयुक्तौ यथा सह॥
