जाग्रतामपि निद्रा यः पश्यतामपि सोंऽधता ।
श्रुते सत्यपि जाड्यं यः प्रकाशेऽपि च यस्तमः ॥

- naiShadha charite

When under the influence of desire and attachment a man is sleeping even when awake, blind even when he can see, inanimate even when he can hear the truth. He sees darkness when there is so much light.
