Verse 7.40.9

ब्रह्मात्मा वेत्ति नो सर्गं सर्गात्मा ब्रह्म वेत्ति नो ।
सुषुप्तो वेत्ति नो स्वप्नं स्वप्नस्थो न सुषुप्तकम् ॥ ९ ॥

brahmātmā vetti no sargaṃ sargātmā brahma vetti no |
suṣupto vetti no svapnaṃ svapnastho na suṣuptakam || 9 ||

The tranquil soul of Brahma, knows (has) no effort of creation in it;nor doth the nature of creation, know the quiescent nature of Brahma. It is as the soundly sleeping soul knows no dream, nor does the dreaming man know the state of sound sleep.
