Verse 7.42.16

विश्वविश्वेश्वरद्वित्वं तथैवासन्मयात्मकम् ।
सदेवासंभवद्द्वित्वं महाचिन्मात्रकं च यत् ॥ १६ ॥

viśvaviśveśvaradvitvaṃ tathaivāsanmayātmakam |
sadevāsaṃbhavaddvitvaṃ mahācinmātrakaṃ ca yat || 16 ||

The duality of the universe and its universal Lord, is a mere verbal and no real distinction of the one positive unity of God. It is impossible for the self-existent soul to have a counterpart of itself, except its own intellect.
