Verse 6.11.56

ब्रह्मैवाहमिति ज्ञाने सत्ये सोदेति भावना ।
तस्मिन्सत्ये निजे रूपे यथान्तः परिलीयते ॥ ५६ ॥

brahmaivāhamiti jñāne satye sodeti bhāvanā |
tasminsatye nije rūpe yathāntaḥ parilīyate || 56 ||

It is then that the thought of God rises in our minds, when we come to the true knowledge of thinking ourselves the same with Brahma; and when the mind is absorbed in the meditation of the divine truth in one's self.
