The works of Ādi Śaṅkarācārya

Advaitānubhūtiḥ

Verse 44

फालेन भ्राम्यमाणेन भ्रमतीव यथा मही ।अगोऽप्यात्मा विमूढेन चलतीव प्रदृश्यते ॥ ४२ ॥

In plain words

Whirl your head around and the earth seems to whirl with it. In just that way the Self, which never moves at all, appears to move to someone lost in confusion.

Close to the Sanskrit

Just as, because of a head that is being whirled about, the earth seems to whirl, so the Self, though motionless, is seen as if moving by the bewildered one.
