शान्ते महाचिदाकाशे जगच्छून्यत्वशालिनि ।
चेत्यासंभवतः सन्ति नोदयास्तमयौ कुतः ॥ ७१ ॥

śānte mahācidākāśe jagacchūnyatvaśālini |
cetyāsaṃbhavataḥ santi nodayāstamayau kutaḥ || 71 ||

When the great vacuity of the intellect is calm and quiet, then the world remains in its form of an empty void also; just as the soul being quite thoughtless in itself; there can be no rise or fall of any object before it.
