योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-3, chapter-84, verse-28

वाच्यवाचकसंबोधो विना द्वैतं न सिद्ध्यति ।
नच द्वैतं संभवति मौनं वापादयत्यलम् ॥ २८ ॥

vācyavācakasaṃbodho vinā dvaitaṃ na siddhyati ,
naca dvaitaṃ saṃbhavati maunaṃ vāpādayatyalam 28

28. vācya-vācaka-saṃbodhaḥ vinā dvaitam na siddhyati
na ca dvaitam saṃbhavati maunam vā āpādayati alam

28. dvaitam vinā vācyavācakasaṃbodhaḥ na siddhyati.
ca dvaitam na saṃbhavati [ataḥ] maunam alam āpādayati

28. The understanding between the expressed (vācya) and the expressor (vācaka) cannot be established without duality. And if duality is not possible, then (this state of non-duality) certainly leads to silence (mauna).
