'For when there is as it were duality, then one sees the other, one smells the other, one hears the other , one salutes the other , one perceives the other , one knows the other; but when the Self only is all this, how should he smell another , how should he see another , how should he hear another, how should he salute another, how should he perceive another , how should he know another? How should he know Him by whom he knows all this? How, O beloved, should he know (himself), the Knower?'

'जहाँ द्वैत-सा होता है, वहाँ अन्य अन्य को सूँघता है, अन्य अन्य को देखता है, अन्य अन्य को सुनता है, अन्य अन्य से बोलता है, अन्य अन्य का मनन करता है, अन्य अन्य को जानता है। पर जहाँ इसके लिए सब आत्मा ही हो गया, वहाँ किससे किसको सूँघे, किससे किसको देखे, किससे किसको सुने, किससे किससे बोले, किससे किसका मनन करे, किससे किसको जाने? जिससे यह सब जानता है, उसे किससे जाने? अरी, जानने वाले को किससे जाने?'
