Verse 7.51.8

बाह्यं न विद्यते किंचिद्बोधः स्फुरति बाह्यवत् ।
उदेति बोधहृदयाद्बीजादिव वरद्रुमः ॥ ८ ॥

bāhyaṃ na vidyate kiṃcidbodhaḥ sphurati bāhyavat |
udeti bodhahṛdayādbījādiva varadrumaḥ || 8 ||

There is nothing as an external phenomenon, it is the intellect which shows itself as the phenomenal; it rises from the mind (as perception does from the heart), like a large tree growing out of its seed.
