द्रश्यत्वाद्भास्यमहमप्यतोऽहं शुक्तिरङ्गवत् ।
अध्यस्तमेक एवाद्य श्वोपि सर्वोपरिस्थितः ॥ १० ॥
The 'I' visibly shines forth, so likewise the 'I' is like silver in mother-of-pearl—
A superimposition; only the One, today and tomorrow, is fixed above the totality.
Commentary
The sage closes this chapter with a telling verse. Every single aspect of the totality, which is the relative world, is merely a superimposition on reality which is the One or the Self-Absolute. The One will always be fixed above the totality.
Ultimate Reality is beyond all that is relative including the ego-concept of 'I'. To be spiritually free is to see Oneness, not the totality of the relative world, as the Isavasya Upanishad (verse 7) declares, "In whom all beings have become the Self of the knower, what sorrow is there for him who sees Oneness?"
