Verse 7.45.60

भासते परमाभासरूपिणः काप्यवस्थितिः ।
बोधाबोधात्मकं चित्तं भाति शुष्कार्द्रकाष्ठवत् ॥ ६० ॥

bhāsate paramābhāsarūpiṇaḥ kāpyavasthitiḥ |
bodhābodhātmakaṃ cittaṃ bhāti śuṣkārdrakāṣṭhavat || 60 ||

There is only the existence of one supremely bright essence, which shines in our minds; which bears resemblance to pieces of wet or dry wood, in as much as they are moistened or exsiccated by the presence or absence of the divine knowledge.
