उत्क्रामन्तं स्थितं वापि भुञ्जानं वा गुणान्वितम् | विमूढा नानुपश्यन्ति पश्यन्ति ज्ञानचक्षुषः
utkrāmantaṃ sthitaṃ vāpi bhuñjānaṃ vā guṇānvitam . vimūḍhā nānupaśyanti paśyanti jñānacakṣuṣaḥ
那些被各種幻象迷惑的人，即使當它（自我）離開或駐留（於此身體），或正在體驗，或與諸「古納」（Gunas，即自然屬性）結合時，也無法看見它。唯有具備「智眼」（Jnana-chakshus）者方能看見。
Persons who are diversely deluded do not see it even when it is leaving or residing (in this body), or experiencing, or in association with the alities. Those with the eye of knowledge see.
儘管「自我」（Atman）最為親近，最易進入他們的視野或意識範圍，但無知和迷惑之人卻無法看見祂。這是因為他們受制於自然屬性（Gunas），心識不斷追逐感官對象，充滿激情，將自我與身體混同，他們的目光被外在形式所佔據。然而，那些具備內在直覺之眼的人，確實能看見祂。正如《伽陀奧義書》（Katha Upanishad）所述，智者轉向內在，見證內在的自我。具備「智眼」者，能洞悉自我與身體截然不同，領悟自我的獨立存在，並知曉身體的運作皆因自我的存在，如同鐵在磁鐵前移動一般。
Though the Self is nearest and comes most easily within their field of vision or consciousness? the ignorant and the deluded are not able to behold Him? because they are swayed by the alities of Nature their minds constantly run towards the sensual objects and are saturated with passion they identify the Self with the body their vision is engrossed in external forms. But those who are endowed with the inner eye of intuition do behold Him.Yama said to Nachiketas The selfexistent Brahma created the senses with outgoing tendencies therefore man beholds the external universe and not the internal Self. He aded But some wise men with their senses turned away from the objects? desirous of immortality? turn their gaze inwards and behold the Self within (seated in their heart). (Katha Upanishad IV.1)Those who possess the inner eye of knowledge behold that the Self is entirely distinct from the body. They realise the Selfs separate existence from the body and know that the body moves and acts on account of Its presence therein? just as the iron moves and acts in the presence of the magnet.
