Verse 3.2.53

न दृश्यमस्ति न द्रष्टा परमात्मनि केवले ।
स्वयंचित्ता तथाप्येष स्वयंभूरिति भासते ॥ ५३ ॥

na dṛśyamasti na draṣṭā paramātmani kevale |
svayaṃcittā tathāpyeṣa svayaṃbhūriti bhāsate || 53 ||

As there is no beholder nor any thing beholden of the solitary Supreme spirit which is the intellect itself; so is the mind manifest of itself.
