Sanskrit: मनोमयो नापि भवेत्परात्मा ह्याद्यन्तवत्त्वात्परिणामिभावात् । ःखात्मकत्वाद्विषयत्वहेतोः द्रष्टा हि दृश्यात्मतया न दृष्टः 
English:  Neither can the mental sheath be the Supreme Self, because it has a beginning and an end, is subject to modifications, is characterised by pain and suffering and is an object; whereas the subject can never be identified with the objects of knowledge.
