Verse 7.28.31

नो बीजमस्ति न किलाङ्कुरकोऽपि वास्ति नाप्यस्ति कर्म पुरुषश्च न वास्ति साधो ।
एकं तु चित्त्वमुदितं ह्यनयाभिधानलक्ष्म्या नटः सुरनरासुरशोभयेव ॥ ३१ ॥

no bījamasti na kilāṅkurako'pi vāsti nāpyasti karma puruṣaśca na vāsti sādho |
ekaṃ tu cittvamuditaṃ hyanayābhidhānalakṣmyā naṭaḥ suranarāsuraśobhayeva || 31 ||

There is neither any seed nor its germ in reality, nor is there any action or its active agent de facto; but there [is] only one Supreme intellect in absolute and positive existence, and it is under the auspices of this hallowed name, that you see O sage! all these gods and demigods, and all men and women, are performing their respective parts as actors on the stage of the world.
