Verse 3.10.49

व्यवहारपरस्यापि यत्पाषाणवदासनम् ।
अव्योम्न एव व्योमत्वं तद्रूपं परमात्मनः ॥ ४९ ॥

vyavahāraparasyāpi yatpāṣāṇavadāsanam |
avyomna eva vyomatvaṃ tadrūpaṃ paramātmanaḥ || 49 ||

Who though full of activity, is sedate as a rock, and who though not a vacuum (being the plenum of all), appears yet as an empty vacuity, such is the form of the Supreme.
