Verse 7.161.9

चिद्व्योममात्रकचनं संसारे सर्वतः शिवे ।
आस्थानास्थादि किं तज्ज्ञा यथासंस्थानमास्थित ॥ ९ ॥

cidvyomamātrakacanaṃ saṃsāre sarvataḥ śive |
āsthānāsthādi kiṃ tajjñā yathāsaṃsthānamāsthita || 9 ||

Whatever you behold anywhere in the universe, is but an exhibition in the vacuum of the Divine Intellect; and what avails it to you that know the truth, whether you believe it as such or not. Rely therefore in your belief of it as it is.
