Verse 3.20.21

इदं त्वदीयं सदनं तद्गेहाकाशकोशगम् ।
विद्धि मां त्वां च सर्वं च तच्चिद्व्योमैव केवलम् ॥ २१ ॥

idaṃ tvadīyaṃ sadanaṃ tadgehākāśakośagam |
viddhi māṃ tvāṃ ca sarvaṃ ca taccidvyomaiva kevalam || 21 ||

Know this seat (sadana) of yours, which is set in this closet (kosha) of the house, as well as myself and thyself and all things about us, to be but the reflections of our intellect only, without which nothing would be perceptible, as to one who is devoid of his intellect.
