The works of Ādi Śaṅkarācārya

Ātmabodhaḥ

Verse 66

सर्वगं सच्चिदात्मानं ज्ञानचक्षुर्निरीक्षते ।अज्ञानचक्षुर्नेक्षेत भास्वन्तं भानुमन्धवत् ॥ ६५ ॥

In plain words

The one whose eye is knowledge sees the Self everywhere — pure being, pure awareness. The one whose eye is ignorance cannot see it at all, the way a blind man cannot see the blazing sun.

Close to the Sanskrit

The all-pervading Self, which is being and consciousness, the one whose eye is knowledge beholds; the one whose eye is ignorance could not see it, as a blind man does not see the blazing sun.
