Verse 7.167.12

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
यत्तच्चित्काचकच्येन काकतालीयवद्वपुः ।
व्योमात्माऽऽभाति भावानां सत्तामात्रमभित्तिमत् ॥ १२ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
yattaccitkācakacyena kākatālīyavadvapuḥ |
vyomātmā''bhāti bhāvānāṃ sattāmātramabhittimat || 12 ||

Vasishtha replied:—No Rama, it is the reflection which the glassy mirror of the Intellect, casts before us at anytime, the same appears to us even then in its vacuous form; and there is no idea or thought of anything, that lays a firm hold on the mind, or has its foundation there.
