Chapter 5 Verse 9 of 29

• naiva kiñcit karomīti
• yukto manyeta tattva-vit
• paśyañ śṛṇvan spṛśañ jighrann
• aśnan gacchan svapan śvasan
• pralapan visṛjan gṛhṇann
• unmiṣan nimiṣann api
• indriyāṇīndriyārtheṣu
• vartanta iti dhārayan

Translation

A person in the divine consciousness, although engaged in seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating, moving about, sleeping and breathing, always knows within himself that he actually does nothing at all. Because while speaking, evacuating, receiving, or opening or closing his eyes, he always knows that only the material senses are engaged with their objects and that he is aloof from them.
