योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-3, chapter-60, verse-45

कारणत्वं मिथः पश्चादसदेति न वास्तवम् ।
मुक्तेऽस्मिन्ब्रह्मणि यदि ब्रह्मान्यः स्मृतिजो भवेत् ।
तत्स्मृतिज्ञप्तिजे सर्गे स्थितैव ज्ञप्तिमात्रता ॥ ४५ ॥

kāraṇatvaṃ mithaḥ paścādasadeti na vāstavam ,
mukte'sminbrahmaṇi yadi brahmānyaḥ smṛtijo bhavet ,
tatsmṛtijñaptije sarge sthitaiva jñaptimātratā 45

45. kāraṇatvam mithaḥ paścāt asat eti na
vāstavam mukte asmin brahmaṇi yadi
brahma anyaḥ smṛtijaḥ bhavet tat
smṛtijñaptije sarge sthitā eva jñaptimātratā

45. mithaḥ kāraṇatvam paścāt asat eti na
vāstavam yadi asmin mukte brahmaṇi
brahma anyaḥ smṛtijaḥ bhavet tat
smṛtijñaptije sarge jñaptimātratā eva sthitā

45. The mutual causality which appears subsequently is unreal, and therefore not ultimately real. If, in this liberated (mukta) Brahman, something other than Brahman (brahman) were to arise from memory, then in that creation born of memory and perception, there would still be only pure consciousness.
