The works of Ādi Śaṅkarācārya

Advaitānubhūtiḥ

Verse 74

जीवेश्वरादिभावेन भेदं पश्यति मूढधीः ।निर्भेदे निर्विशेषेऽस्मिन्कथं भेदो भवेद्ध्रुवम् ॥ ७२ ॥

In plain words

A clouded mind looks and sees division — soul here, God there, and all the rest of it. But in this, where there is no division and not one distinguishing mark, how could difference ever really stand?

Close to the Sanskrit

One whose intellect is clouded sees difference through the notion of jīva, īśvara, and the rest. In this, which is without division and without any distinguishing mark, how could difference ever firmly be?
