Verse 6.78.28

स्वरूपमलमुत्सृज्य तदेव भवति क्षणात् ।
एवं चिद्रूपमप्येतच्चेत्योन्मुखतया स्वयम् ॥ २८ ॥

svarūpamalamutsṛjya tadeva bhavati kṣaṇāt |
evaṃ cidrūpamapyetaccetyonmukhatayā svayam || 28 ||

All these and the living soul also, and anything that appears real or unreal, disappear in the meditation of the intellect, and are lost in it as the fire when it is immerged in water.
