Verse 7.186.9

स्वयं दृश्यं स्वयं द्रष्टृ स्वयं चित्त्वं स्वयं जडम् ।
स्वयं किंचिन्न किंचिच्च ब्रह्मात्मन्येव संस्थितम् ॥ ९ ॥

svayaṃ dṛśyaṃ svayaṃ draṣṭṛ svayaṃ cittvaṃ svayaṃ jaḍam |
svayaṃ kiṃcinna kiṃcicca brahmātmanyeva saṃsthitam || 9 ||

Wherever there is anything in any state or condition in any part of the world, there you will find the presence of the divine spirit in its form of vacuity; and this without changing its nature of calm serenity, assumes to itself whatever form or figure it likes.
