एको द्रष्टासि सर्वस्य मुक्तप्रायोऽसि सर्वदा, अयमेव हि ते बन्धो द्रष्टारं पश्यसीतरम्। ॥7॥
eko draṣṭāsi sarvasya muktaprāyo'si sarvadā, ayameva hi te bandho draṣṭāraṁ paśyasītaram. (7)
This verse reminds us that our true nature is that of a witness to everything, and we are always free. The only limitation comes from mistakenly identifying ourselves as separate from that true self.
