योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-3, chapter-81, verse-72

दृश्यं पश्यन्त्यमात्मानं न द्रष्टा संप्रपश्यति ।
द्रष्टुर्हि दृश्यतापत्तौ सत्ताऽसत्तेव तिष्ठति ॥ ७२ ॥

draṣṭurhi dṛśyatāpattau sattā'satteva tiṣṭhati 72

draṣṭuḥ hi dṛśyatāpattau sattā asattā iva tiṣṭhati

72. draṣṭā dṛśyam paśyantam ātmānam na saṃprapaśyati.
hi draṣṭuḥ dṛśyatāpattau sattā asattā iva tiṣṭhati.

72. The seer (`draṣṭṛ`) does not fully perceive the seeing self (ātman) as an object to be seen (dṛśya). For, when the seer (`draṣṭṛ`) attains the state of being an object, its existence (sattā) becomes like non-existence (asattā).
