योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-5, chapter-91, verse-67

न संभवति संवेद्यं तैलहीनस्तिलो यथा ।
न बहिर्नान्तरे किंचित्संवेद्यं विद्यते पृथक् ॥ ६७ ॥

na saṃbhavati saṃvedyaṃ tailahīnastilo yathā ,
na bahirnāntare kiṃcitsaṃvedyaṃ vidyate pṛthak 67

67. na saṃbhavati saṃvedyam tailahīnaḥ tilaḥ yathā | na
bahiḥ na antare kiñcit saṃvedyam vidyate pṛthak ||

67. na saṃvedyam saṃbhavati,
yathā tailahīnaḥ tilaḥ.
na bahiḥ na antare kiñcit saṃvedyam pṛthak vidyate.

67. The object of perception or knowledge cannot exist, just as a sesame seed without oil cannot produce oil. Nothing perceivable exists separately, either externally or internally.

67. אובייקט התפיסה אינו יכול להתקיים בלעדיה, כשם שאין שומשום ללא שמן. לא בחוץ ולא בפנים קיים אובייקט תפיסה נפרד כשלעצמו.
