यथा नभो वाय्वनलाम्बुभूगुणै- र्गतागतैर्वर्तुगुणैर्न सज्जते । तथाक्षरं सत्त्वरजस्तमोमलै- रहंमते: संसृतिहेतुभि: परम् ॥ २६ ॥
yathā nabho vāyv-analāmbu-bhū-guṇair gatāgatair vartu-guṇair na sajjate tathākṣaraṁ sattva-rajas-tamo-malair ahaṁ-mateḥ saṁsṛti-hetubhiḥ param
The sky may display the various qualities of the air, fire, water and earth that pass through it, as well as such qualities as heat and cold, which continually come and go with the seasons. Yet the sky is never entangled with any of these qualities. Similarly, the Supreme Absolute Truth is never entangled with the contaminations of goodness, passion and ignorance, which cause the material transformations of the false ego.
