Sanskrit: रज्ज्वज्ञानात्क्षणेनैव यद्वद्रज्जुर्हि सर्पिणी।  भाति तद्वच्चितिः साक्षाद्विश्वाकारेण केवला।   
English:  As through the ignorance of the real nature of the rope the very rope appears in an instant as a snake, so also does pure Consciousness appear in the form of the phenomenal universe without undergoing any change.
