Verse 7.35.8

अविकारं विकारीव समं शान्तमशान्तवत् ।
सदेवासदिवादृश्यं तदेवातदिवोदितम् ॥ ८ ॥

avikāraṃ vikārīva samaṃ śāntamaśāntavat |
sadevāsadivādṛśyaṃ tadevātadivoditam || 8 ||

The unchangeable is seen as changing and the steady appearing as moving; the real appears as unreal, and the unreality as reality; so that seeming as otherwise, and so the vice versa also.
