Verse 8

⁶It is the mind that makes bodies for the self, and strands, and works; and maya makes that mind. Out of this comes the round of birth for the living one. ⁷As long as oil and holder and wick and fire are found together, from that the lamp has its being a lamp. In the same way the becoming that the body makes is born by the working of passion and clarity and darkness, and then is destroyed. ⁸In all that the self is not, the self that shines by itself, which is beyond what is shown and what is not shown. It is a holder, like space, and steady, and past that it can be likened only to what has no end.
