Verse 7.129.18

भेदो न भेदस्तत्रायं भेदोऽयं यन्मयः किल ।
तद्ब्रह्मैव चिदाभासं चिद्रूपैव हि भिन्नता ॥ १८ ॥

bhedo na bhedastatrāyaṃ bhedo'yaṃ yanmayaḥ kila |
tadbrahmaiva cidābhāsaṃ cidrūpaiva hi bhinnatā || 18 ||

There is no difference of avidya or ignorance, from the essence of Brahma; because the one subsists in the other; for Brahma is the perfect Intellect himself that shows the difference in the modes of intellection.
