Verse 7.29.50

मुक्तताया अहंतेयमभावो भावनं क्व च ।
तयैवान्विष्यते सेति जात्यन्धश्चित्रमीक्षते ॥ ५० ॥

muktatāyā ahaṃteyamabhāvo bhāvanaṃ kva ca |
tayaivānviṣyate seti jātyandhaścitramīkṣate || 50 ||

Freedom from egoism and the consciousness of all other existence, brings on the idea of a total inexistence and emptiness, which is altogether beyond thought and meditation. (For none can think of a nothing). All attempt to grasp a nullity, is as vain as a blind man's desire to see a picture.
