Verse 7.43.56

भ्रमानुभवतोऽर्थश्च मिथ्यैवास्तीव भासते ।
अकारणकमेवार्थनिर्भासं भासते मनः ॥ ५६ ॥

bhramānubhavato'rthaśca mithyaivāstīva bhāsate |
akāraṇakamevārthanirbhāsaṃ bhāsate manaḥ || 56 ||

The objective being an erroneous notion, is but a false apparition appearing to sight, the objects also having no cause for their creation, prove the subjective mind to be a falsity likewise.
