Verse 7.51.28

बोधाबोधनमेवेदं जगच्चित्तमिवोदितम् ।
तदेवास्तं गतं बोधात्पिण्डबन्धस्य कास्तिता ॥ २८ ॥

bodhābodhanamevedaṃ jagaccittamivoditam |
tadevāstaṃ gataṃ bodhātpiṇḍabandhasya kāstitā || 28 ||

The knowledge and ignorance of the world, consist only in its conception and nescience in the mind; when the knowledge of its existence disappears from the understanding, where is there the idea of its massiveness any more in the mind.
