योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-1, chapter-15, verse-9

अहंकारवशाद्यद्यन्मया भुक्तं हुतं कृतम् ।

ahaṃkāravaśādyadyanmayā bhuktaṃ hutaṃ kṛtam ,
sarvaṃ tattadavastveva vastvahaṃkārariktatā 9

9. ahaṅkāravaśāt yat yat mayā bhuktaṃ hutaṃ kṛtam |
sarvaṃ tat tat avastu eva vastu ahaṅkārariktatā ||

9. Whatever I have experienced, offered as oblation, or performed under the sway of ego (ahaṅkāra) – all of that is ultimately unreal. The true reality lies in the absence of ego (ahaṅkāra).

9. כל מה שנהניתי ממנו, כל מה שהקרבתי בטקסים וכל מה שעשיתי תחת השפעת הַאַהַנְקָארָה (תחושת האגו), כל זה חסר ערך וממשות. הדבר הממשי היחיד הוא ההשתחררות מהאגו.
