As the wind is separate from the dust it carries away, so, the wise man should know, is the connection between life and the Soul. No one should think that the Soul, on account of its seeming union with the body and the senses and the other inclinations and beliefs and unbeliefs, is really endued therewith as its necessary and absolute qualities. On the other hand, the Soul should be considered as existing in its own nature.
तथैतदन्तरं विद्यात् सत्त्वक्षेत्रज्ञयोर्बुधः। अभ्यासात् स तथा युक्तो न गच्छेत् प्रकृति पुनः।।
