sa bhūta-sūkṣmendriya-sannikarṣaṁ manomayaṁ devamayaṁ vikāryam saṁsādya gatyā saha tena yāti vijñāna-tattvaṁ guṇa-sannirodham
Translation
The devotee, thus surpassing the gross and the subtle forms of coverings, enters the plane of egoism. And in that status he merges the material modes of nature [ignorance and passion] in this point of neutralization and thus reaches egoism in goodness. After this, all egoism is merged in the mahat-tattva, and he comes to the point of pure self-realization.
