Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 12 - Chapter 1 - Verse 32
Sanskrit:
यथा घनोऽर्कप्रभवोऽर्कदर्शितोह्यर्कांशभूतस्य च चक्षुषस्तम: ।एवं त्वहं ब्रह्मगुणस्तदीक्षितोब्रह्मांशकस्यात्मन आत्मबन्धन: ॥ ३२ ॥
ITRANS:
yathā ghano ’rka-prabhavo ’rka-darśitohy arkāṁśa-bhūtasya ca cakṣuṣas tamaḥevaṁ tv ahaṁ brahma-guṇas tad-īkṣitobrahmāṁśakasyātmana ātma-bandhanaḥ
Translation:
Although a cloud is a product of the sun and is also made visible by the sun, it nevertheless creates darkness for the viewing eye, which is another partial expansion of the sun. Similarly, material false ego, a particular product of the Absolute Truth made visible by the Absolute Truth, obstructs the individual soul, another partial expansion of the Absolute Truth, from realizing the Absolute Truth.
