योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-3, chapter-91, verse-38

चिद्भागोऽत्रावबोधांशो जडं चेत्यं हि दृश्यते ।
इति जीवो जगद्भान्तिं पश्यन्गच्छति लोलताम् ॥ ३८ ॥

cidbhāgo'trāvabodhāṃśo jaḍaṃ cetyaṃ hi dṛśyate ,
iti jīvo jagadbhāntiṃ paśyangacchati lolatām 38

38. cit-bhāgaḥ atra avabodha-aṃśaḥ jaḍam cetyam hi dṛśyate
iti jīvaḥ jagat-bhāntim paśyan gacchati lolatām

38. atra cit-bhāgaḥ avabodha-aṃśaḥ hi jaḍam cetyam dṛśyate
iti jagat-bhāntim paśyan jīvaḥ lolatām gacchati

38. Here, the conscious (cit) part is the element of awareness, while indeed, the inert (jaḍa) cognizable object (cetya) is perceived. Perceiving the illusion of the world (jagat-bhānti) in this way, the individual soul (jīva) falls into fickleness (lolatā).
