त्वमेकश्चेतनः शुद्धो जडं विश्वमसत्तथा, अविद्यापि न किञ्चित्सा का बुभुत्सा तथापि ते। ॥5॥

tvam-ekaś-cetanaḥ śuddho jaḍaṁ viśvam-asat-tathā, avidyāpi na kiñcit-sā kā bubhutsā tathāpi te. (5)

This verse teaches that your true nature is pure awareness, while the material world and ignorance are not real. Therefore, there is nothing more you need to seek or understand beyond this realization.
