Verse 16

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ १६ ॥

In plain words

It is not this kind of thing or that kind of thing. It is not hidden away somewhere out of reach. It simply is — Being, and nothing but Being. That Brahman is you. You are not the body, not anything else that can be looked at; you are the looking, before which everything appears.

Close to the Sanskrit

This is not of this kind, nor of that kind; it is not beyond perception; it is Being alone — that which is. That Brahman you are. You are not one whose form is the seen — body and the rest; you are the seer of all.
