सर्वभूतात्मभूतात्मा कुर्वन्नपि न लिप्यते ॥७॥ नैव किंचित् करोमीति युक्तो मन्येत तत्त्ववित् । पश्यञ्शृण्वन्स्पृशनिघनश्नन्गच्छन्स्वपन्श्वसन् ॥ ८॥ प्रलपन्विसृजन्गृह्णन्नुन्मिषन्निमिषन्नपि ।

(8) (He) Who has understood the basic principles, and is steeped in the Yoga, should realise that : "I do not do anything ”; (and) in seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating, walking, sleeping, breathing, (9) speaking, excreting, taking, opening the eye-lids, and closing them, (should act) believing that (merely)
