Verse 7.190.48

श्रीराम उवाच ।
कोऽत्र कल्पयिताहंत्वं भुङ्क्ते भोक्ता च कश्च वा ।
यन्मूलं यज्जगद्भ्रान्तिरनन्ता प्रविजृम्भते ॥ ४८ ॥

śrīrāma uvāca |
ko'tra kalpayitāhaṃtvaṃ bhuṅkte bhoktā ca kaśca vā |
yanmūlaṃ yajjagadbhrāntiranantā pravijṛmbhate || 48 ||

Rama rejoined:—If it be so (that the living soul, is as the breeze or breath of the calm air of Brahma and same with it), then tell me sir, who and what power is it, which conceives the ego, tu and others, which feels and enjoys all as their agent, if the fundamental fallacy of the world be the root of all.
