The yogis striving for perfection behold Him dwelling in the Self; but, the unrefined and unintelligent, even though striving, do not see Him.

योगीजन प्रयत्न करते हुये ही अपने हृदय में स्थित आत्मा को देखते हैं, जब कि अशुद्ध अन्त:करण वाले (अकृतात्मान:) और अविवेकी (अचेतस:) लोग यत्न करते हुये भी इसे नहीं देखते हैं।।
