योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-3, chapter-95, verse-7

इति दृष्टो निरासङ्गाद्ब्रह्मणो जायते जगत् ।
तज्जं तदेव तद्धेतुगतं दुरवबोधतः ॥ ७ ॥

iti dṛṣṭo nirāsaṅgādbrahmaṇo jāyate jagat ,
tajjaṃ tadeva taddhetugataṃ duravabodhataḥ 7

7. iti dṛṣṭaḥ nirāsaṅgāt brahmaṇaḥ jāyate jagat |
tajjam tat eva taddhetugatam duravabodhataḥ ||

7. iti dṛṣṭaḥ jagat nirāsaṅgāt brahmaṇaḥ jāyate
tajjam tat eva duravabodhataḥ taddhetugatam

7. Thus it is perceived that the world (jagat) arises from the supreme reality (brahman), which is characterized by non-attachment. That which is born from that (brahman) is indeed identical with its cause, though this is difficult to grasp (duravabodhataḥ).
