Shloka (श्लोक)
दिवाकरॊ गुणम उपलभ्य निर्गुणॊ;

तथा हय असौ मुनिर इह निर्विशेषवान;
स निर्गुणं परविशति बरह्म चाव्ययम

English Translation
Just as the sun, perceived through its rays, appears to possess qualities while being essentially formless, so too does the wise sage, who, despite recognizing the manifestations, ultimately realizes the quality-less Brahman, the eternal essence.
हिंदी अनुवाद
जैसे सूर्य, अपनी रश्मियों के माध्यम से देखा जाता है, जबकि वास्तविकता में वह निराकार है, वैसे ही ज्ञानी साधक, जो रूपों को पहचानते हैं, अंततः गुण रहित ब्रह्म को समझता है, जो शाश्वत सार है।
