Verse 7.10.9

ज्ञोऽसि किंचिन्न किंचिद्वा निःशङ्कमलमास्यताम् ।
अचेतनाचिदाभासे शाम्यतामात्मनात्मनि ॥ ९ ॥

jño'si kiṃcinna kiṃcidvā niḥśaṅkamalamāsyatām |
acetanācidābhāse śāmyatāmātmanātmani || 9 ||

Whether you can understand anything or nothing, regarding the mysterious nature of the Deity, remain quite unconcerned about it; and rest your soul in that Supreme spirit, wherein all intelligence and its absence are both alike.
