योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-2, chapter-19, verse-32

सर्वात्मकतया द्रष्टुर्दृश्यत्वमिव युज्यते ।
दृश्यत्वं द्रष्टृसद्भावे दृश्यतापि न वास्तवी ॥ ३२ ॥

sarvātmakatayā draṣṭurdṛśyatvamiva yujyate ,
dṛśyatvaṃ draṣṭṛsadbhāve dṛśyatāpi na vāstavī 32

32. sarvātmakatayā draṣṭuḥ dṛśyatvam iva yujyate |
dṛśyatvam draṣṭṛ-sadbhāve dṛśyatā api na vāstavī

32. sarvātmakatayā draṣṭuḥ dṛśyatvam iva yujyate.
draṣṭṛ-sadbhāve dṛśyatvam (asti),
api dṛśyatā vāstavī na (asti)

32. Due to its all-pervading nature (sarvātmatā), the perceiver (ātman) is as if also the perceived. However, the state of being perceived (dṛśyatva) depends entirely on the existence of the perceiver, and therefore, perceivedness (dṛśyatā) itself is not truly real (vāstavī).
