चित्तमात्रं हि पुरुषस्तस्मिन्नष्टे च नश्यति ।
स्थिते तिष्ठति चात्मायं घटे सति घटाम्बरम् ॥ ६ ॥

cittamātraṃ hi puruṣastasminnaṣṭe ca naśyati ,
sthite tiṣṭhati cātmāyaṃ ghaṭe sati ghaṭāmbaram 6

6. Indeed, the cosmic person (puruṣa) is merely the mind (citta). When that (mind) is destroyed, (the apparent puruṣa) also perishes; and when it (mind) exists, this Self (ātman) also appears to exist, just as the space within a pot (ghaṭāmbara) exists when the pot exists.
