Verse 7.205.36

संकल्पस्वप्ननगरनृत्तवत्सर्वमाततम् ।
स्थितमेव समं शान्तमाकाशमजमव्ययम् ॥ ३६ ॥

saṃkalpasvapnanagaranṛttavatsarvamātatam |
sthitameva samaṃ śāntamākāśamajamavyayam || 36 ||

All this is but an air drawn city, of our imagination and dream; and everything here, appears to be stretched out in a fairy dance all about us; but in reality it is only a calm and quiet vacuity, full with the unchanging and undecaying spirit of God.
