योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-3, chapter-81, verse-65

द्रष्टैव दृश्यतामेति न द्रष्टृत्वं विनास्ति तत् ।
विना पित्रेव तनयो विना भोक्त्रेव भोग्यता ॥ ६५ ॥

draṣṭaiva dṛśyatāmeti na draṣṭṛtvaṃ vināsti tat ,
vinā pitreva tanayo vinā bhoktreva bhogyatā 65

65. draṣṭā eva dṛśyatām eti na draṣṭṛtvam vinā asti tat
vinā pitrā iva tanayaḥ vinā bhoktrā iva bhogyatā

65. draṣṭā eva dṛśyatām eti,
tat (dṛśyatvam) draṣṭṛtvam vinā na asti,
pitrā vinā tanayaḥ iva,
bhoktrā vinā bhogyatā iva.

65. The seer (draṣṭṛ) itself becomes the seen (dṛśyatā), but that (state of being seen) does not exist without the state of being a seer (draṣṭṛtva), just as a son (tanaya) cannot exist without a father, nor enjoyability (bhogyatā) without an enjoyer (bhoktṛ).
