कूटस्थं बोधमद्वैतमात्मानं परिभावय, आभासोऽहं भ्रमं मुक्त्वा भावं बाह्यमथान्तरम्। ॥13॥

kūṭasthaṁ bodham-advaitam-ātmānaṁ paribhāvaya, ābhāso'haṁ bhramaṁ muktvā bhāvaṁ bāhyam-athāntaram. (13)

This verse encourages us to let go of all distractions and the false belief that we are separate from our true nature. Instead, we should focus on realizing our true self as a steady and unified consciousness.
