यदा किलेहाहमिति तदा नात्राहमित्यपि ।
भातीत्युदेति नाना खे स्वात्मैव द्वैतमक्रमम् ॥ २२ ॥

yadā kilehāhamiti tadā nātrāhamityapi ,
bhātītyudeti nānā khe svātmaiva dvaitamakramam 22

22. yadaa kila iha aham iti tadaa na atra aham iti api
bhaati iti udeti naanaa khe svaatmaa eva dvaitam akramam

22. yadaa kila iha aham iti tadaa na atra aham iti api
bhaati iti udeti naanaa khe svaatmaa eva dvaitam akramam

22. Indeed, when the thought 'I am here' arises, then immediately the thought 'I am not here' also does not appear. Instead, the diverse and unsequenced duality of the self (ātman) itself emerges in space (khe), as if it were a reality.
