Verse 2.356
Sanskrit text and transliteration:

Notes:
The Self is real, being identical with the supreme Brahman. The sheaths which are products of avidyā are not real. So by attaining the discriminating knowledge, the seeker after liberation must abandon the sheaths and realize rhe supreme Brahman which is no other than the inward Self.
