Verse 7.68.16

सत्तातिवाहिको देहस्तत्परं परमार्थतः ।
प्रत्यक्षं परमं यत्तत्तदाद्यं कचनं चितः ॥ १६ ॥

sattātivāhiko dehastatparaṃ paramārthataḥ |
pratyakṣaṃ paramaṃ yattattadādyaṃ kacanaṃ citaḥ || 16 ||

It is the spiritual form, which is the true essence of all things;and all that is visible to us or perceptible to the senses, is mere fabrication of the originally inventive mind.
