yathā dehādi cittasya tathā dehasya cittakam ,
tathaiva jīvaḥ parame pade dvaitamataḥ kutaḥ 12

12. yathā dehā-ādi cittasya tathā dehasya cittakam

12. Just as the body and its attributes are (mistakenly attributed to or perceived by) the mind (citta), and similarly the mind (citta) is (mistakenly attributed to or perceived by) the body; in the same manner, the individual soul (jīva) exists in the supreme state (pada). From where, then, can there be duality (dvaita)?
