क्व चात्मा क्व च वाऽनात्मा क्व शुभं क्वाशुभं तथा, क्व चिन्ता क्व च वाऽचिन्ता स्वमहिम्नि स्थितस्य मे। ॥2॥

kva cātmā kva ca vā'nātmā kva śubhaṁ kvāśubhaṁ tathā, kva cintā kva ca vā'cintā svamahimni sthitasya me. (2)

This verse reflects on the nature of the true self, suggesting that when one recognizes their own greatness, distinctions like self and not-self, good and evil, or anxiety and peace become less significant. It invites a deeper understanding of one's essence beyond these dualities.
