Sanskrit (Devanāgarī)
नैर्गुण्याद्ब्रह्म चाप्नोति सगुणत्वान्निवर्तते । गुणप्रसारिणी बुद्धिर्हुताशन इवेन्धने ॥
English Scholarly Translation
When the Understanding becomes freed from qualities, then only can it attain to Brahma. When it is endued with qualities, it falls back from the Supreme. Indeed, such is the nature of the understanding that it rushes towards qualities and moves among them like fire among fuel.
