मय्यनन्तमहाम्भोधावाश्चर्यं जीववीचयः, उद्यन्ति घ्नन्ति खेलन्ति प्रविशन्ति स्वभावतः। ॥25॥

mayyananta-mahāmbhodhāv-āścaryaṁ jīva-vīcayaḥ, udyanti ghnanti khelanti praviśanti svabhāvataḥ. (25)

This verse expresses the idea that individual selves are like waves in a vast ocean, each rising and moving playfully for a while before returning to the ocean, symbolizing the temporary nature of individual existence within the infinite.
