Verse 7.128.12

ततः परतरं शान्तं ब्रह्माकाशमनन्तकम् ।
न प्रकाशं न च तमो महाचिद्धनमव्ययम् ॥ १२ ॥

tataḥ parataraṃ śāntaṃ brahmākāśamanantakam |
na prakāśaṃ na ca tamo mahāciddhanamavyayam || 12 ||

At a great distance from that, there is the infinite space of the vacuity of Divine spirit; which is neither dark nor bright, but is full of Divine Intelligence.
