Sanskrit: अन्धत्वमन्दत्वपटुत्वधर्माः सौगुण्यवैगुण्यवशाद्धि चक्षुषः । धिर्यमूकत्वमुखास्तथैव श्रोत्रादिधर्मा न तु वेत्तुरात्मनः 
English:  Blindness, weakness and sharpness are conditions of the eye, due to its fitness or defectiveness merely; so are deafness, dumbness, etc., of the ear and so forth – but never of the Ātman, the Knower.
