Bhāṣya 2.2.11
The inner-vision is the deity, whereas the outer vision lacks consciousness. Similarly, the Supreme Being remains independent of living entities, and is untouched by the miseries of the dependent being.
"सूर्यो यथाऽऽन्तरं चक्षुः प्रतिबिम्बोऽस्य बाह्यकः। बाह्यचक्षुर्गतैर् दोषैः अन्तश्चक्षुर्न लिप्यते॥

अन्तश्चक्षुर्देवता तु बाह्य चक्षुरचेतनम्। एवं बाह्यः स्स्वतन्त्रत्वात् जीवेभ्यः पुरुषोत्तमः। अस्वतन्त्रस्य जीवस्य दुःखैर्नैव हि लिप्यते॥"
antaścakṣurdevatā tu bāhya cakṣuracetanaṃ। evaṃ bāhyaḥ ssvatantratvāt jīvebhyaḥ puruṣottamaḥ। asvatantrasya jīvasya duḥkhairnaiva hi lipyate॥"
