सर्वभूतेषु चात्मानं सर्वभूतानि चात्मनि, मुनेर्जानत आश्चर्यं ममत्वमनुवर्तते। ॥5॥
sarva-bhūteṣu cātmānaṁ sarva-bhūtāni cātmani, muner-jānata āścaryaṁ mamatvam-anuvartate. (5)
This verse highlights the surprising fact that even those who truly understand the interconnectedness of all life can still feel a sense of personal ownership or attachment. It suggests that wisdom does not completely erase our human feelings and experiences.
