The works of Ādi Śaṅkarācārya

Advaitānubhūtiḥ

Verse 31

यथा घटेषु नष्टेषु घटाकाशो न नश्यति ।तथा देहेषु नष्टेषु नैव नश्यामि सर्वगः ॥ २९ ॥

In plain words

Break the pots, and the space inside them is not broken. So when these bodies fall away, I do not fall with them — I am everywhere.

Close to the Sanskrit

Just as, when pots are destroyed, the pot-space is not destroyed, so too, when bodies are destroyed, I, the all-pervading, do not perish at all.
