योगवासिष्ठः       yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-5, chapter-88, verse-15

वीतहव्यो मनोमात्रं मनोहंत्वमिवैन्द्रियः ।
मनो जगदिदं कृत्स्नमन्यतानन्यते तु के ॥ १५ ॥
vītahavyo manomātraṃ manohaṃtvamivaindriyaḥ ,
mano jagadidaṃ kṛtsnamanyatānanyate tu ke 15
15. vītahavyaḥ manomātram manohaṃtvam iva aindriyaḥ
manaḥ jagat idam kṛtsnam anyatā ananyatā tu ke
15. vītahavyaḥ manomātram aindriyaḥ manohaṃtvam iva
idam kṛtsnam jagat manaḥ tu anyatā ananyatā ke
15. Vitahavya is pure consciousness (mind-only). He is like the destruction of the (conventional) mind (manohaṃtvam), even though he is an embodied being (aindriyaḥ) operating through the senses. This entire world is mind. So, what then are notions of difference (anyatā) and non-difference (ananyatā)?
