मा न भूवं हि भूयासमिति प्रेमात्मनि स्थितम् |
सर्वस्याऽन्यस्य मिथ्यात्वादसङ्गत्वं स्फुटं मम || १८ ||
mā na bhūvaṃ hi bhūyāsamiti premātmani sthitam |
sarvasyā'nyasya mithyātvādasaṅgatvaṃ sphuṭaṃ mama || 18 ||
18. "The feeling "Let me not cease to be; let me exist forever," is rooted in love for the Self. Certainly there is no actual relations between me and all else, since all else is false."
