jiiva-bhedo mithashchaiva jaDa-jiiva-bhidA tathA |
mithashcha jaDa-bhedo.ayam prapaJNcho bheda-pa.nchakaH ||
Paramopanishad
The difference between the jîva (soul) and Îshvara (Creator)
the difference between jaDa (insentient) and Îshvara
the difference between various jîvas
the difference between jaDa and jîva
the difference between various jades
these five differences make up the universe."
