योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-5, chapter-50, verse-14

चित्तान्तरेव संसारः कुम्भान्तः कुम्भखं यथा ।
चित्तनाशे न संसारः कुम्भनाशे न कुम्भखम् ॥ १४ ॥

cittāntareva saṃsāraḥ kumbhāntaḥ kumbhakhaṃ yathā ,

14. citta antaḥ eva saṃsāraḥ kumbha antaḥ kumbhakham
yathā citta nāśe na saṃsāraḥ kumbha nāśe na kumbhakham

14. Transmigration (saṃsāra) exists only within the mind, just as the space within a pot exists within the pot. When the mind is destroyed, there is no transmigration (saṃsāra); similarly, when the pot is destroyed, there is no space within the pot.
