Verse 7.175.16

स्वप्नेऽनुभूयते चैतत्स्वप्नो ह्यात्मैव भासते ।
नानाबोधमनानैव ब्रह्मैवामलमेव तत् ॥ १६ ॥

svapne'nubhūyate caitatsvapno hyātmaiva bhāsate |
nānābodhamanānaiva brahmaivāmalameva tat || 16 ||

This will be better understood in the instance of a dream, which rises of itself and shows itself in various forms; but as all these varieties are nothing but empty visions, so the diverse scenes and sights of the world, are no more than shows of the Divine spirit.
