The works of Ādi Śaṅkarācārya

Aparokṣānubhūtiḥ

Verse 67

गृह्यमाणे घटे यद्वन्मृत्तिकाऽऽभाति वै बलात् ।वीक्ष्यमाणे प्रपञ्चेऽपि ब्रह्मैवाभाति भासुरम् ॥ ६७ ॥

In plain words

Take hold of a pot and clay is what shows itself — you cannot help it, it comes with the holding. Look at this whole spread-out world and Brahman alone shows itself, blazing.

Close to the Sanskrit

Just as, when a pot is being grasped, clay indeed shines forth of necessity — so too, when the manifold world is being looked at, Brahman alone shines forth, radiant.
