Verse 7.163.18

अचेत्यमेव चिन्मात्रमिदं जगदिति स्थितम् ।
इत्येव सत्यबोधस्य बन्धमोक्षदृशौ कुतः ॥ १८ ॥

acetyameva cinmātramidaṃ jagaditi sthitam |
ityeva satyabodhasya bandhamokṣadṛśau kutaḥ || 18 ||

Knowing this world as the unknowable intellect itself, that is the knowledge of the material world as the immaterial mind of God; is the true light in which the cosmos is viewed by the wise, who have neither the fear of their falling into the snare of error, nor require their release from it.
