क्व सृष्टिः क्व च संहारः क्व साध्यं क्व च साधनम्, क्व साधकः क्व सिद्धिर्वा स्वस्वरुपेऽहमद्वये। ॥5॥

kva sṛṣṭiḥ kva ca saṁhāraḥ kva sādhyaṁ kva ca sādhanam, kva sādhakaḥ kva siddhirvā sva-svarupe'ham-advaye. (5)

This verse reflects on the idea that in the state of true self-awareness, distinctions like creation and destruction, or seeking and achieving, lose their meaning, as one realizes their unity with everything. It emphasizes the peace found in recognizing one's own essential, undivided nature.
