Sanskrit: अहंपदार्थस्त्वहमादिसाक्षी नित्यं सुषुप्तावपि भावदर्शनात् । रूते ह्यजो नित्य इति श्रुतिः स्वयं तत्प्रत्यगात्मा सदसद्विलक्षणः 
English:  But the real ‘I’ is that which witnesses the ego and the rest. It exists always, even in the state of profound sleep. The Shruti itself says, ‘It is birthless, eternal’, etc. Therefore the Paramātman is different from the gross and subtle bodies.
