Sanskrit Text
यथा
पुष्पफलोपेतो
बहुशाखो
महाद्रुमः
।
आत्मनो
नाभिजानीते
क्व
मे
पुष्पं
क्व
मे
फलम्
॥
English Translation
As a large tree enveloped with numberless branches and filled with many flowers and fruits, does not know in which part it has flowers and in which it has fruits, similarly the Soul, as modified by birth and other qualities, does not know whence it has come and whither it is to go. There is, however, an inner Soul, which sees every thing.
