साकारेव निराकारा स्थिता तद्वज्जगत्तया ।
संविदाकाशमाकाशादणु मेरोरणुर्यथा ॥ ९१ ॥

sākāreva nirākārā sthitā tadvajjagattayā |
saṃvidākāśamākāśādaṇu meroraṇuryathā || 91 ||

As the formless dream presents many forms before the mind; so the formless world assumes many shapes before our sight: and all these are perceived in our consciousness, which is as minute in respect of the infinite space and sky, as an atom of dust is too small in regard to the Meru mountain.
