Verse 5.57.20

न चित्तमस्ति नो चेता न जगत्तादिविभ्रमः ।
वृष्टमूकाम्बुदसितं शान्तं शाम्यति केवलम् ॥ २० ॥

na cittamasti no cetā na jagattādivibhramaḥ |
vṛṣṭamūkāmbudasitaṃ śāntaṃ śāmyati kevalam || 20 ||

There is no seat nor agent of thought, nor fallacy of the world in the soul (all which are acts of the mind only): while the soul remains as a mute and pellucid cloud, in one sphere of the autumnal sky.
