Verse 3.21.45

संकल्पनगरं सत्यं यथासंकल्पितं प्रति ।
संदेहं वा विदेहं वा नेतरं प्रति किंचन ॥ ४५ ॥

saṃkalpanagaraṃ satyaṃ yathāsaṃkalpitaṃ prati |
saṃdehaṃ vā videhaṃ vā netaraṃ prati kiṃcana || 45 ||

As it may be possible to realize an aerial castle by the labour of building it, so it is possible to behold God, either with this body or without it, by practice of yoga only and not otherwise.
