योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-3, chapter-54, verse-73

अत्यन्तासंभवादेव दृश्यस्यासौ च वासना ।
नास्त्येवेति विचारेण दृढज्ञातैव नश्यति ॥ ७३ ॥

atyantāsaṃbhavādeva dṛśyasyāsau ca vāsanā ,
nāstyeveti vicāreṇa dṛḍhajñātaiva naśyati 73

73. atyantāsaṃbhavāt eva dṛśyasya asāu ca vāsanā na
asti eva iti vicāreṇa dṛḍhajñātā eva naśyati

73. dṛśyasya atyantāsaṃbhavāt eva asāu vāsanā ca naśyati.
"na asti eva" iti vicāreṇa dṛḍhajñātā eva naśyati

73. And this latent impression (vāsanā), due to the absolute impossibility of the phenomenal world (dṛśya) itself, perishes. Through the realization, born from inquiry, that "it simply does not exist," even the firmly held conviction [in its reality] is destroyed.
