Verse 7.62.42

चिद्व्योम्नोऽनाकृतेः स्वप्नो हृदि स्फुरति यः स्वतः ।
सर्गस्तस्य कुतस्तेन साकृतित्वं कथं भवेत् ॥ ४२ ॥

cidvyomno'nākṛteḥ svapno hṛdi sphurati yaḥ svataḥ |
sargastasya kutastena sākṛtitvaṃ kathaṃ bhavet || 42 ||

When the empty dream of the world appears of itself, in the vacuous and formless intellect within the hollow of the mind (or heart) and has no substantiality in it; how then is it said to be a material substance, when it is perceived in the same manner by the immaterial intellect?
