अहं स शुक्तिसञ्काशो रूप्यवद्विश्वकल्पना, इति ज्ञानं तथैतस्य न त्यागो न ग्रहो लयः। ॥3॥

ahaṁ sa śukti-sañkāśo rūpyavad-viśvakalpanā, iti jñānaṁ tathaitasya na tyāgo na graho layaḥ. (3)

This verse teaches that just as a seashell remains unchanged despite the illusion of silveriness on its surface, our true self, or pure Consciousness, remains unaffected by the temporary experiences and identities we perceive. True Knowledge comes from understanding that these experiences are illusions and do not alter our essence.
