Verse 3.60.3

ज्ञानेनाकाशरूपेण दृश्यं ज्ञेयस्वरूपकम् ।
इत्येकीभूतमालोक्य ज्ञस्तिष्ठत्यम्बरोपमः ॥ ३ ॥

jñānenākāśarūpeṇa dṛśyaṃ jñeyasvarūpakam |
ityekībhūtamālokya jñastiṣṭhatyambaropamaḥ || 3 ||

True knowledge consists in viewing the visibles as void, and knowing the one vacuum as the sole unity and real entity; one loses himself at last in this infinite vacuity.
