Bhagavad Geeta 16.8

Sanskrit

असत्यमप्रतिष्ठं ते जगदाहुरनीश्वरम्।अपरस्परसम्भूतं किमन्यत्कामहैतुकम्।।16.8।।

asatyam apratiṣhṭhaṁ te jagad āhur anīśhvaram aparaspara-sambhūtaṁ kim anyat kāma-haitukam

Meaning

Don't dismiss what you don't understand as meaningless. Every outcome has causes worth examining before dismissing its reality or value.

Translation

They say that the world is unreal, having no basis, and without a God. It is born of mutual union brought about by passion! What other cause could there be?
