यत्त्वं पश्यसि तत्रैकस्त्वमेव प्रतिभाससे, किं पृथग्भासते स्वर्णात् कटकाङ्गदनूपुरम्। ॥12॥
yat-tvaṁ paśyasi tatraikas-tvam-eva pratibhāsase, kiṁ pṛthag-bhāsate svarṇāt kaṭakāṅgada-nūpuram. (12)
This verse suggests that everything you see is a reflection of your own essence, just as different jewelry made of gold appears distinct but is ultimately the same material. It reminds us that all forms and appearances are interconnected and rooted in a single source.
