## Meaning:
**55.** In reality, the qualities of nature perform actions; yet, the deluded soul, blinded by ego, believes, "I am the doer."
**56.** Upon reflection, this view is not beautiful either. For, the intellect and consciousness (purusha) share the same substratum, making its ugliness evident.
**57.** You have declared the intellect to be the doer and the enjoyer. If that intellect is eternal, there will be no liberation; and if it is non-eternal, there will be no samsara, because before the intellect's origin, there is no connection with dharma, etc.
**58.** If we accept dharma, etc., as belonging to nature, then what will we call the intellect? And then, the statement of the connection of such dharma, etc., will also naturally apply to pots, etc.
