Verse 6.97.20

भावनाभावतश्चित्ते नास्त्येवाहमिति स्वयम् ।
एवं ब्रह्मेति वेदार्थभावनादनुभूतितः ।
चेतितार्थैकसत्यत्वाच्चिन्ता नाम क्व विद्यते ॥ २० ॥

bhāvanābhāvataścitte nāstyevāhamiti svayam |
evaṃ brahmeti vedārthabhāvanādanubhūtitaḥ |
cetitārthaikasatyatvāccintā nāma kva vidyate || 20 ||

By thinking yourself always as the intellect, you will lose the sense of your egoism and personality; and so will your reflection on the contexts of the texts of the vedas, lead you to the same conclusion.
