योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-3, chapter-65, verse-7

दीर्घः स्वप्नः स्थितिं यातः संसाराख्यो मनोबलात् ।
असम्यग्दर्शनात्स्थाणाविव पुंस्प्रत्ययो मुधा ॥ ७ ॥

dīrghaḥ svapnaḥ sthitiṃ yātaḥ saṃsārākhyo manobalāt ,
asamyagdarśanātsthāṇāviva puṃspratyayo mudhā 7

7. dīrghaḥ svapnaḥ sthitim yātaḥ saṃsārākhyaḥ manobalāt

7. saṃsārākhyaḥ dīrghaḥ svapnaḥ manobalāt sthitim yātaḥ
asamyagdarśanāt sthāṇau iva puṃspratyayaḥ mudhā

7. What is called transmigratory existence (saṃsāra) is a long dream (svapna) that has gained apparent reality (sthitiṃ yātaḥ) through the power of the mind (manobala). It is a futile (mudhā) misperception, just like the mistaken identification of a man in a tree-stump due to incomplete vision.
