योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-3, chapter-40, verse-60

चिद्व्योम्नो भूतनभसि कचनं यन्मणेरिव ।
तज्जगद्भाविनानासत्तत्त्वं श्वभ्रमिवाम्बरे ॥ ६० ॥

cidvyomno bhūtanabhasi kacanaṃ yanmaṇeriva ,
tajjagadbhāvinānāsattattvaṃ śvabhramivāmbare 60

60. cit-vyomnaḥ bhūta-nabhasi kacanam yat maṇeḥ iva | tat
jagat-bhāvi-nānā-asat-tattvam śvabhram iva ambare ||

60. yat kacanam maṇeḥ iva bhūta-nabhasi (asti),
(tat) cit-vyomnaḥ (udeti); tat jagat-bhāvi-nānā-asat-tattvam (api) ambare śvabhram iva (asti).

60. Just as the gleaming of a gem in the elemental sky originates from the ether of consciousness (citvyoman), so too is this world-appearing, diverse, and non-existent essence, which is like a chasm in the sky.

60. הניצוץ של חלל התודעה הטהורה בתוך חלל היסודות הוא כמו ברק של אבן חן. עולם זה, הנתפס כאוסף של קיומים נפרדים ובלתי אמיתיים, אינו אלא כמו בור המצטייר בשמיים.
