Sanskrit: आत्मावभासयत्येको बुद्ध्यादीनीन्द्रियाणि हि।  दीपो घटादिवत्स्वात्मा जडैस्तैर्नावभास्यते।   
English:  Just as a lamp illumines a jar or a pot, so also the Atman illumines the mind and the sense organs, etc. These material-objects by themselves cannot illumine themselves because they are inert.
