Sanskrit Text
स्वभावात्संप्रवर्तन्ते
निवर्तन्ते
तथैव
च
।
सर्वे
भावास्तथाभावाः
पुरुषार्थो
न
विद्यते
॥
English Translation
All kinds of entities and non-entities come into being or cease on account of their own nature. No kind of personal exertion is necessary (for their production). In the absence of personal exertion it is clear that no personal agent exists for the production of all this that we perceive. But though the person never does anything, yet through the influence of Ignorance a consciousness regarding agency over spreads itself on it.
