Verse 6.96.49

अकचित्वैव तन्नाम कचितं सर्गवेदनम् ।
अहं चिता चिदेवादौ भवतीव स्वयं ततः ॥ ४९ ॥

akacitvaiva tannāma kacitaṃ sargavedanam |
ahaṃ citā cidevādau bhavatīva svayaṃ tataḥ || 49 ||

The divine intellect though forever the same and serene, appears to shine forth in the creation with our knowledge of the same, and set at its dissolution with our imperceptibility of it; so our egoism being the same with the divine ego, appears to be different from it, as our fluctuating minds depict it in various lights.
