Verse 7.53.11

सबाह्याभ्यन्तरे शान्ते वासनाविषयभ्रमे ।
सर्वचिन्ताविहीनस्य प्रबुद्धस्यार्धरात्रतः ॥ ११ ॥

sabāhyābhyantare śānte vāsanāviṣayabhrame |
sarvacintāvihīnasya prabuddhasyārdharātrataḥ || 11 ||

The yogi who is insensible of the false and delusive desires and sights of objects, that intrude upon internal mind and external vision, sees the transient flash of that light in his meditation, as he wakes amidst the gloom of midnight.
