The Understanding has no refuge. That which is called life originates from the effects of the qualities coming together. Others, acting as causes, create the Understanding that lives in the body. No one can apprehend the qualities in the true nature or from of existence.
आश्रयो नास्ति सत्त्वस्य गुणसर्गेण चेतना। सत्त्वमस्य सृजन्त्यन्ये गुणान् वेद कदाचन॥
