Verse 7.145.76

दृश्योपलम्भं चित्तत्त्वे स्पन्दनं पवने यथा ।
असदेव सदाभासमभिन्नं भिन्नवत्स्थितम् ॥ ७६ ॥

dṛśyopalambhaṃ cittattve spandanaṃ pavane yathā |
asadeva sadābhāsamabhinnaṃ bhinnavatsthitam || 76 ||

The perception of phenomenals is as innate in the mind, as vacillation is inherent in the wind; and viewing the unreal as real, and the intrinsical or what is derived from within it, as separate and extrinsic or derived from without, is the essential property of its nature.
