एकस्मिन्नव्यये शान्ते चिदाकाशेऽमले त्वयि, कुतो जन्म कुतो कर्म कुतोऽहङ्कार एव च। ॥11॥

ekasminn-avyaye śānte cidākāśe'male tvayi, kuto janma kuto karma kuto'haṅkāra eva ca. (11)

This verse suggests that if you are the unchanging and pure essence of consciousness, then concepts like birth, actions, and the sense of self cannot truly apply to you. It emphasizes the idea of a deeper, unchanging reality beyond our everyday experiences.
