योगवासिष्ठः       yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-3, chapter-14, verse-53

चितेश्चित्त्वं जगद्विद्धि नाजगच्चित्त्वमस्ति हि ।
अजगत्त्वादचिच्चित्स्याद्भानाद्भेदो जगत्कुतः ॥ ५३ ॥
citeścittvaṃ jagadviddhi nājagaccittvamasti hi ,
ajagattvādaciccitsyādbhānādbhedo jagatkutaḥ 53
53. citeḥ cittvam jagat viddhi na ajagat cittvam asti hi
ajagatvāt acit cit syāt bhānāt bhedaḥ jagat kutaḥ
53. [he śiṣya!] jagat citeḥ cittvam viddhi,
hi ajagat cittvam na asti.
ajagatvāt cet [tad] cit acit syāt.
[tadā] bhānāt jagat bhedaḥ kutaḥ?
53. Know that the world (jagat) is the very nature of consciousness (cit). Indeed, there is no consciousness (cit) that is separate from the world. If consciousness (cit) were non-world, it would be unconscious (acit). How then can there be any difference in the world (jagat) from its manifestation (bhāna)?
