योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-4, chapter-42, verse-27

क्रमेण पाकवशतः फलमेति यथान्यताम् ।
अवस्थयैव नाकृत्या जीवो मलवशात्तथा ॥ २७ ॥

krameṇa pākavaśataḥ phalameti yathānyatām ,
avasthayaiva nākṛtyā jīvo malavaśāttathā 27

27. krameṇa pāka-vaśataḥ phalam eti yathā anyatām
avasthayā eva na ākṛtyā jīvaḥ mala-vaśāt tathā

27. yathā phalam krameṇa pāka-vaśataḥ anyatām eti,
tathā jīvaḥ mala-vaśāt avasthayā eva na ākṛtyā

27. Just as a fruit, gradually and due to the power of its ripening, attains a different state, similarly, the individual soul (jīva), owing to the influence of impurities, changes only in its condition, not in its fundamental form.

27. כשם שפרי משתנה בהדרגה במצבו עקב הבשלתו, אך לא בצורתו הבסיסית, כך הַגִ'יוָוה משתנה במצביה עקב זיהומי הרשמים.
