yas tu vijñānavān bhavati sa-manaskaḥ sadā śuciḥ sa tu tat-padam āpnoti yasmād bhūyo na jāyate vijñāna-sārathir yas tu manaḥ pragrahavān naraḥ so 'dhvanaḥ pāram āpnoti tad viṣṇoḥ paramaṁ padam indriyebhyaḥ parā hy arthā arthebhyaś ca paraṁ manaḥ manasas tu parā buddhir buddher ātmā mahān paraḥ mahataḥ param avyaktam avyaktāt puruṣaḥ paraḥ puruṣān na paraṁ kiñcit sā kāṣṭhā sā parā gatiḥ "The individual is the passenger in the car of the material body, and the intelligence is the driver.

The avyakta (the unmanifested) is higher than the mahat. The puruṣa (person) is higher than the unmanifested. Nothing is higher than the person. The person is the highest."
