 nātmā vapuḥ pārthivam indriyāṇi
 devā hy asur vāyur jalam hutāśaḥ
 mano ’nna-mātraṁ dhiṣaṇā ca sattvam
 ahaṅkṛtiḥ khaṁ kṣitir artha-sāmyam

 TRANSLATION
 
 
 |   | The material body made of earth is not the true self; nor are the senses, their presiding demigods or the air of life; nor is the external air, water or fire or one’s mind. All these are simply matter. Similarly, neither one’s intelligence, material consciousness nor ego, nor the elements of ether or earth, nor the objects of sense perception, nor even the primeval state of material equilibrium can be considered the actual identity of the soul.
