Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Canto 10 Chapter 38 Text 1 ya īkṣitāhaṁ-rahito ’py asat-satoḥ sva-tejasāpāsta-tamo-bhidā-bhramaḥ sva-māyayātman racitais tad-īkṣayā prāṇākṣa-dhībhiḥ sadaneṣv abhīyate TRANSLATION He is the witness of material cause and effect, yet He is always free from false identification with them. By His internal potency He dispels the darkness of separation and confusion. The individual souls in this world, who are manifested here when He glances upon His material creative energy, indirectly perceive Him in the activities of their life airs, senses and intelligence.
