The works of Ādi Śaṅkarācārya

Aparokṣānubhūtiḥ

Verse 81

सूक्ष्मत्वे सर्ववस्तूनां स्थूलत्वं चोपनेत्रतः ।तद्वदात्मनि देहत्वं पश्यत्यज्ञानयोगतः ॥ ८१ ॥

In plain words

Every object is small, yet hold a lens before your eye and it looms large. In just this way one sees a body in the Self — because ignorance is in the way.

Close to the Sanskrit

All things being subtle, largeness too [appears] from a lens; likewise one sees bodyness in the Self, from association with ignorance.
