Whoever views all actions as being performed (or all objects as being created) by the Material Cause itself, and at the same time views their own Self as a non-performer (or non-creator) - they view properly.
He who understands that it is only the Law of Nature that brings action to fruition, and that the Self never acts, alone knows the Truth.
He who sees that all acts are done universally by Prakrti alone and likewise that the self is not the doer, he sees indeed.
And he who sees actions as being done in various ways by Nature itself, and also the Self as the non-agent,-he sees.
He sees, who sees that all actions are performed by Nature alone and that the Self is actionless.

When he perceives the mutual difference of beings as abiding in One, and its expansion from That alone, at that time he becomes the Brahman.
He who sees the diverse forms of life all rooted in One, and growing forth from Him, he shall indeed find the Absolute.
When he perceives the independent modes of existence of all beings centred in one, and as also their expansion from It alone, then he attains to brahman.
When one realizes that the state of diversity of living things is rooted in the One, and that their manifestation is also from That, then one becomes identified with Brahman.
When a man sees the whole variety of beings as resting in the One, and spreading forth from That alone, he then becomes Brahman.
