योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-6, chapter-100, verse-26

संकल्पेन यदा याति त्वसंकल्पेन गच्छति ।
पवनेन महाबाहो ज्वालाजालमिवानले ॥ २६ ॥

saṃkalpena yadā yāti tvasaṃkalpena gacchati ,
pavanena mahābāho jvālājālamivānale 26

26. saṃkalpena yadā yāti tu asaṃkalpena gacchati
pavanena mahābāho jvālā-jālam iva anale

26. mahābāho! yadā [jīvaḥ] saṃkalpena yāti,
tu asaṃkalpena gacchati.
[idam] pavanena anale jvālā-jālam iva [bhavati].

26. O mighty-armed one, just as a mass of flames in a fire flares up due to wind and subsides (or behaves differently) without it, similarly, one progresses with volition (saṃkalpa) and moves (or ceases to move) without volition.

26. גירוי המחשבות מניע אותה, ואילו היעדר מחשבות מעלים אותה, הוי גיבור חיל, כשם שמשב רוח יכול ללבות קלע של להבות באש או להעלימו.
