Verse 3.67.79

तेनात्मनाऽद्वितीयेनैव द्वित्वमिवाततं यथासलिलेन तरंगकल्पनया सुवर्णेन कटककल्पनयैवमिति अतस्तेन स्वयमेवात्मनात्मान्य इव चेत्यते ॥ ७९ ॥

tenātmanā'dvitīyenaiva dvitvamivātataṃ yathāsalilena taraṃgakalpanayā suvarṇena kaṭakakalpanayaivamiti atastena svayamevātmanātmānya iva cetyate || 79 ||

It is His undivided self which expanded itself in visible nature, and which appears as a duality, like that of the waves and the sea, and the bracelets and gold. Thus He of himself appears as other than himself.
