Verse 120

सर्वं ब्रह्ममयं देवि भावयेत् ब्रह्मसाधकः । न चाऽस्य प्रत्यवायोऽस्ति नाङ्गवैगुण्यमेव च । महामनोः साधने तु व्यङ्गं साङ्गायते ध्रुवम् ॥ १२० ॥

sarvaṁ brahmamayaṁ dēvi bhāvayēt brahmasādhakaḥ | na cā’sya pratyavāyō’sti nāṅgavaiguṇyamēva ca | mahāmanōḥ sādhanē tu vyaṅgaṁ sāṅgāyatē dhruvam || 120 ||

Translation

The practitioner of Brahman should see everything as made of Brahman, O Goddess. For him there is no harm from omission and no fault from a missing part; in the practice of the great mantra, what is incomplete surely becomes complete.
