yathā sarva-gataṁ saukṣhmyād ākāśhaṁ nopalipyate sarvatrāvasthito dehe tathātmā nopalipyate
సర్వవ్యాపియైన ఆకాశము తన సూక్ష్మత్వము వలన అంటబడనట్లే, శరీరమునందు సర్వత్ర నెలకొనియున్న ఆత్మ కూడ అంటబడదు.
Ether pervades everything. All are immersed in it. There is no point whereunto ether does not penetrate and pervade and yet it is not tainted by anything. Even so the Self pervades the whole body and the whole world. Being subtler than the body the Self is never tainted by it or anything else. It is unattached and actionless. It has no parts or limbs. So virtuous and vicious actions cannot contaminate the Self. It is ever pure and stainless.
