Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam · Text 12.4.24
Who is speaking and story frame
दीपश्चक्षुश्च रूपं च ज्योतिषो न पृथग् भवेत् ।
एवं धी: खानि मात्राश्च न स्युरन्यतमादृतात् ॥ २४ ॥
dīpaś cakṣuś ca rūpaṁ ca
jyotiṣo na pṛthag bhavet
evaṁ dhīḥ khāni mātrāś ca
na syur anyatamād ṛtāt

In the same way, intelligence, the senses and sense perceptions have no existence separate from the supreme reality, although that Absolute Truth remains totally distinct from them.
