Sanskrit Text

गुणैर्हि गुणवानेव निर्गुणश्चागुणस्तथा प्राहुरेवं महात्मानो मुनयस्तत्त्वदर्शिनः

English Translation

Great Munis conversant with the truth about principles say that when Soul seizes qualities like a crystal catching the reflection of a red flower, he is said to be possessed of qualities; but when freed from qualities like the crystal freed from reflection, he is seen in his real nature, which is as above all qualities.
